lyrics

Why do you dress like that?
Why can't you be normal?
Don't act like that
You're so informal
Take that T-Shirt off
Put this red dress on
Come on let's go
And get our nails all done
Please
Can you just look like a girl

Cuz I know who I raised
And I don't think that it's you
You shattered my name
And now I don't know what to do

You're everything I never wanted
Why can't you just make me proud?
I get that you think that you're different
But do you have to be so loud?

Cuz I know who I raised
And I don't think that it's you
You shattered my name
And now I don't know what to do

I hope you know that I still love you
But I hate everything you do
I promise I still care about you
But I just can't be there for you
