I tried so hard to be your perfect child,
but in your eyes I turned out wild.
Yeah, sometimes I did lie,
but Mom, I really did try,
and I'm still trying to change to this day.
Trying to change my horrible ways,
trying to be a better sister and daughter,
but problems just flow like water.
My eyes are burning from the tears.
Just look what happened to our relationship over the years,
but now I will try if you do too,
'cause Mommy, I'm trying to change for you.
The Struggle To Become A Better Person
Change
