[Verse 1]
I don't think I can be all I want
In the hearts of others
"Be a gold star," they say, "be good
For your father"
Eldest daughter, you'll bear the weight

[Chorus]
Grow to hate
Come out of it
Left singing
Oh please, show me mercy, mercy
I just can't take this
Shame, I wear it for you
Ohh, you

[Verse 2]
I don't think I can be all I want
In the hearts of others
"Be a gold star," they say, “What a waste
You never made it further"
