you ask why i'm a bitch
to everyone around me
you ask why i'm pissed off
at everything that surrounds me
you act like you care
then tell me to leave
you say the door swings one way
oh what a tangled web we weave
maybe it's problems at school
i really don't know
but i think i'm happy
until you come home
CHORUS:
tears of anger
stream down my face
i can no longer stand living
in this horrible place
so many damn rules
treated like a kid
would you care
if i were to die or live
i want you to know i hate you
i'm sick of getting treated like shit
you say it's the other way around
but take a sec and think about this:
you bitch when i get b's in school
and when i hate people you like
you bitch about my attitude
and what time i go to bed at night
you bitch about my chores
which you give me every day
you bitch about every little thing
in every single way
to your friends you talk
and i am always a topic
do you like when i speak of you
no you don't, so drop it
CHORUS
why can't i be good enough for you
you want me to be something i'm not
you want the perfect child
instead of what you've got
you want a straight a student
one that's pretty too
you want a popular child
well you know what i want from you
i want you to shut the hell up
stop all your pissing and moaning
i want you to leave me the fuck alone
until you're through with your groaning
CHORUS
face it, i'm not always gonna get a's
and i'm gonna talk back
i'm not always gonna do my chores
without giving you krap
i'm not pretty or popular
and i'm never gonna be
i like my friends the way they are
so stop complaining about them and me
i'm not always gonna sit there
and continue to take your shit
i'm gonna stick up for myself
cuz i'm sick of this
CHORUS
i can't wait for the day
when i'm finally rid of you
i'll go off to college, start a new life
no longer need to be near you
i'll never have to deal with you
what a happy person i'll be
rarely see you for the rest of my life
just me and only me
don't ever have to hear what you think
about me and all of my flaws
never have the urge again
to cut you with my claws
now tears of joy
stream down my face
thinking about
that wonderful day

Honesty, I guess
The tone and the teenager talking back, I don't like, but getting beyond that, it works. Thanks for entering. Walt.

okay... the first part kinda worried me, but i'm worried about everything lately, lol. jk. but i think it's a really good song that expresses how u feel, it's a good way to get ur feelings out. i like it.
