What you gave me
I know you gave me
You remind me all the time
And how you hurt me
And you don’t see it
Again I am the child

And though you tell me
That you love me
I can’t feel it
And I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing
I fear that something’s wrong

I’m tired of walking on eggshells
So terrified to fail
And in order to please you
I’ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me
When you push me away
I’m stronger than ever
You made me this way

How I wish you
You suffered less too
It tears us both apart
And it’s not pretty
The way you criticize me
And how it breaks my heart

And though you tell me
That you love me
I can’t feel it
And I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing
I fear that something’s wrong

I’m tired of walking on eggshells
So terrified to fail
And in order to please you
I’ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me
When you push me away
I’m stronger than ever
You made me this way

How I wish you knew
How much I need you
I feel like running
But I can’t abandon you
You avoid my gaze
Withdraw from me these days
You punish me for trying to be
All that you wanted
What more can I do?

I’m tired of walking on eggshells
So terrified to fail
And in order to please you
I’ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me
When you push me away
I’m stronger than ever
You made me this way

I’m tired of walking on eggshells
So terrified to fail
And in order to please you
I’ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me
When you push me away
I’m stronger than ever
You made me this way
