Dina Rebekka - Your Daughter

{verse 1}
My entire childhood
I thought i had to hide who i was
I never let anybody see
I finally accept now
That some things never change
How your image will always matter more than me
I never really seem to measure up
I gave my all, but it's just never good enough

{chorus}
But i'm your daughter, ain't that enough
To be someone you're proud of?
I tried my best
And yet you wish that i was different
And the reason why i always shut you out
Was because i felt like i let you down
If i continue this way i'm gonna break
I'm not the one who needs to change

{verse 2}
I always used to hold back
Afraid that i'd be too much
'cause my whole life you taught me that i was
Afraid i was too wild
When in fact i was just a child
Who desperately wanted to be loved
So i chased the love from others
You never understood
But did it ever cross your mind that maybe they gave me what you never could?

{chorus}
'cause being your daughter is not enough
To be someone you're proud of
I tried my best
And yet you wish that i was different
And the reason why i always shut you out
Was because i felt like i let you down
If i continue this way i'm gonna break
I'm not the one who needs to change

{bridge}
And i know my sexuality
Doesn't go well with what you believe
And when i started in recovery
You became my worst enemy
It's like i'm always almost good enough
It's like i always almost measure up
But if i could then i would be the one that you want me to be
I just don't see why

{chorus}
Being your daughter is not enough
To be someone you're proud of
I try my best
And yet you wish that i was different
And the reason why i always shut you out
Is because i know that i've let you down
If i continue this way i'm gonna break
I'm not the one who needs to change
