Every day I try harder
Every day I get smarter
But still I see
You'll never love me

I'm the one you don't like
The one you could forget
The one who causes trouble
The one you just regret

You're supposed to care
But you're never there
I put my trust in you
But what good did that do

Family loves family
That's how it should be
But not for you
You'll never love me
