I sat in my room alone with stained tears
My heart was breaking, solemn...dead
The look of disappointment on your face was haunting
Horridly penetrating my already broken and decaying heart

Everyday I try to find a way to please you
I try to find a way to make you smile
But somehow everyday turns into another failure
Just another successful failure

I just wish I could do something right
And even on the days that I do do something right
I end up ruining everything
No matter how hard I try to win.

I want to be the wind
Just something that is soothing
Something you like to have around
Something that makes you smile

But I always turn into your alarm clock
Waking you from the seductive dreams
Into the painful reality
Ruining your smiles and changing them to frowns

I wanted to be perfect
Someone you could turn to
I wanted to be someone who was needed
But I feel like I am never needed

I live off of peoples needs
Wanting them to need me
But it seems like when I need people to need me
They need me less and less

I am sorry daddy,
For driving you so far away
I am sorry daddy,
For making you look away

I want to be perfect
And in all my attempts I fail
I am sorry daddy,
For sticking out like a nail

I am sitting here alone in my room
The tears having left stains on my cheeks
Wondering where I went wrong
Wondering if anything will ever be alright
