I made you walk
I made you talk
I made you learn how to eat, how to draw, how to smile, how to sing
I gave you love
I gave you life
I gave you high fives and hugs, gave you laughs, gave you love I'd never seen before I was 19
So why did you grow up so mean
I taught you right
Steered you from wrong
Held you at night, changed your diapers, brushed your teeth; I made you strong and always to belong
I folded clothes
Went to your shows
I spent every last dime I had, I swear, on your cleats, and cheered you at your meets
I spent the nights
We went to church
I gave my hours, all my hours, all the hours I'd ever had to make sure you never hurt, and now you desert
Oh, how can you live so obscene
And how and why, how and why did you get so mean
You were my daughter
You were my world
We had a bond no one could break, no, not a single person in this world but you or me
So why
Why
So why can you be so mean
All of the thoughts
All of the art
All the piano, all the movies, all the moments we built into your heart, they didn't come for free
So why
Why
So why did you get so mean
So mean
So mean
So so mean
