Far from the Top
I tried to be perfect for you and get straight A's
I tried to clean up the house and make dinner
But everytime I did anything special
You never seemed to notice
I felt bad for you because of the social worker situation
And after we got our lives back on track I tried doing things right
I remeber orgainzing dinners to suprise you with
I remeber cleaning the bathroom or working hours on a Mother's Day present
But you never noticed
Then in an instant everything changed I got tired of being a goody-two shoes
So I followed the people I tried so hard to avoid
And when I started stealing, drinking, and skipping you noticed

I remeber you'd scream at me- at all of us
I feared that you'd hit me
And that's when I began to hate you
That's when I began to turn against you
And stick up for my siblings
Because you never noticed when I did good
You never noticed when we did good
And I realized my efforts for perfections were useless
You were too narrow minded and unloving
