A Cycle That Keeps On Spinning

Why did you bring me into this world
Why did you blame everything on me
Why! Why! Why!
Why don't you answer me
Why do stare at me with such soulless and empty eyes
Do you not feel ashamed, do you think you have the right to treat me like this
I am your daughter, I did not ask to be brought into this world
Yet you show me the joys and crush them like paper and make me want to leave
We were like best friends I thought you were my best friend but you are selfish
When you are angry you make sure everyone else is angry
When you are wrong you make excuses and blame them on everyone else but yourself
Why!Why!Why!
Why won't you let me hate you why do you change and change and change
Why do I have to feel guilty
Can't you just be a jerk and let me hate you
Why do I still love you?
