Lyrics
Wanted a perfect daughter
Desire for an ideal daughter
But
Transition to a contrasting reality
You got me
Speaker's identity as the child
You want me to be different
Expectation for the speaker to change
Well
Acknowledgment of the speaker's limitations
I can't be
Declaration of inability to conform
I'm not coming down
Resistance to descending or conforming
Took some time but now I've found
Discovery of self-love over time
The love I needed all along
Finding the love needed within oneself
And if I don't wana go along the same way
Assertion of independence in choosing a path
Don't make me
Request to avoid coercion
Don't make me
Repetition for emphasis on avoiding coercion
And I have made my peace with all
Acceptance and resolution with past actions
I've become
Self-awareness of personal growth
My head is clear
Clarity of thought and emotions
And finally I'm fine with all of this I've done
Contentment with past choices and experiences
'Cos it brought me here
Recognition of the journey's value
I'm not coming down
Reiteration of resistance to conformity
Took some time but now I've found
Confirmation of self-love discovery
The love I needed all along
Reaffirmation of finding needed love within
And if I don't wana go along the same way
Reiteration of independence in choosing a path
Don't make me
Request to avoid coercion, again
Don't make me
Repetition for emphasis on avoiding coercion, again
I'm not coming down
Persistent resistance to descending or conforming
Took some time but now I've found
Affirmation of self-love discovered over time
The love I needed all along
Reiteration of finding the needed love within
And if I don't wana go along the same way
Reassertion of independence in choosing a path
Don't make me
Final plea to avoid coercion
Don't make me
Concluding emphasis on avoiding coercion
