I try to please you but it's never good enough
and I keep trying to give you all this love
but no matter how hard I try to please you
you're never happy with anything I do
I wonder why I even bother at all
cause every sacrifice I make is too small
so tell me what can I do
that would please you
Chorus
maybe it's time I stop trying
cause inside I have been dying
maybe it's time that I give up
cause nothing is ever good enough
my best is good but more is better
I guess it will be this way forever
why do I try to live to please you
only to be criticized no matter what I do
why do I dream of that one moment
when you will take what I give and love it
why do I obsess about making you happy
when you can't even accept the real me
why is it so important to my heart
when in the end it will only tear me apart
Chorus
I can't do this anymore
I can't live like this like before
so I'm gonna walk away
cause I can't bear to stay
giving my all to you again
only to be criticized in the end
please forgive me
but I must leave
Chorus
