remember when we used to argue
and fight all the time
remember when I would say you don’t love me
the same way that you love them
remember when I complained
about all the burdens place on my shoulders
remember when all of that changed
and I became what you wanted me to be
we stopped all the fighting and arguing
and lived together so peacefully
I used to think it was you that had changed
I just assumed you became more accepting
but I realized that I had just given up
i just gave in and did what pleased you
so now I am living this life
this life created by the expectations
and the prospects for my future
by everyone around me
who believes that i am the best
that I am the brightest
and I can do it all
But its all a lie
it was just my little compromise
