Linkinpark- Numb
Lizzie sat on her bed crying, she couldn't understand why her dad was so mad. She done the best she could to please him but it seemed like nothing she done was going to make him happy. He expected so much from her.
He wanted her to be just like him, and alls she wanted to be is her self. She wanted to make mistakes in life and learn from them. She wanted to live her life the way she wanted to.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
What made him so perfect anyways? He was never at home to help her with her homework, or for her to talk to. He was always at work. It was like his work was more important to him than his family.
Even when he was at home he was always fussing about her grades, She was trying her best and he didn't even notice. Alls he noticed was the times she failed; he never noticed when she made an A on her history test. Alls he noticed was the D in math.
It wasn't her fault she didn't understand it. She tried everything to get it. She even stayed after school so her teacher could try to help her. She still couldn't get it
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
He was always accusing her of doing drugs and drinking just because one of her friends got busted for drugs. After that he started reading her e-mail's, smelling her cloths and breath every time she came in from hanging out with friends. He didn't trust that she knew right from wrong and was able to say no.
She heard a knock on her bedroom door.
"Go away!" She called out knowing exactly who it was.
"Honey please can I come in? We need to talk?"
"About what how I'm not perfect or about the fact that I can't be like you."
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
He opened the door and walked in shutting the door behind him.
"I don't expect you to be perfect."
He sat on the edge of the bed.
"Oh yeah dad, Then how come you expect me to make straight A's and how come you expect me to never make any mistakes I'm only human dad. I can only do so much. I tried to make good grades in math I even stayed after school so my teacher could help me. But you wouldn't know that would you because you're always at work. You're never at home when I need help with my homework, and mom sucks at math. Your never home when I need someone to talk to. Your job is more important to you than we will ever be. I don't expect you to quit your job or be superman and be in two places at once alls I want you to do is be my dad once in a while"
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
His daughter's word hurt him. He didn't mean to put so much pressure on her. He tried to be home more. But with them living in New York it wasn't easy. He didn't know when someone was going to be raped. He let his job get in the way of being there for his children.
"I love you so much daddy, and I'm proud that you're out there locking up rapist. But even on your days off you're called into work"
He hugged his daughter.
"I'm sorry baby"
Alls he wanted to do was protect his children from the outside world. But he was spending all his time trying to protect them and not spending anytime with them
He kissed her on her forehead and rocked her till she clamed down.
"I promise I'll spend more time with you, and less time on the job. I love you baby girl!"
