I Want to go Home

I hate it here
you try to make me welcome,
but I really hate it here.
Dad, why can't you see?
You try to make me do things your way
eat what you'd eat
do what you'd do
and be perfect.

I've tried to be perfect
I've tried to do well
but I'm tired of hearing
the disappointed voice.
Tired of the sighs,
the tears
all of it!
I don't want to be here!
I want to go home
back to mom's house.

She respects me,
she doesn't pressure me!
She treats me like a person,
while you act like I'm 5 years old!

I just want to go home.
I want to go back to where being me
is more than enough.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I hate you
but you drove me to this,
You wouldn't just let me be.

Please, just let me go home
I don't want to see you anymore.
I want to go home!
I'm so tired of crying
because I'm not good enough as is
for you.
