Lyrics
You compare me to my siblings
You feel the need to compare me to my siblings
Expect me to be just like them
You expect me to conform to their ways
Why can't you
Questioning why you can't accept me as I am
Accept me for who i am
Pleading for acceptance of my true self
I looked up to you
I admired and respected you during my childhood
All the time as a kid
Expressing a time of constant admiration as a child
But now it hurts to say
Now acknowledging pain caused by your actions
You bring me down
You have a negative impact on my well-being
You bring me down
Reiteration of the negative influence on me
It took a lot for me to walk away
It was challenging for me to distance myself
I don't want to be your enemy
Expressing a desire not to be in conflict with you
But i also got to let myself free
But recognizing the need to prioritize my own freedom
What i would give to let things go
Expressing a willingness to let go of past issues
But i'm afraid it's a part of me
Fearful that these issues are ingrained in my identity
Why can't you
Repeating the plea for acceptance of my true self
Accept me for who i am
Reiteration of the need for unconditional acceptance
I looked up to you
Reaffirmation of childhood admiration despite current pain
All the time as a kid
Recalling the constant admiration as a child
But now it hurts to say
Reiterating the current emotional pain caused by you
You bring me down
Highlighting the negative impact on my emotional state
You bring me down
Emphasizing the recurring negative influence
It took a lot for me to walk away
Stressing the difficulty in breaking away
I know i look like him
Acknowledging physical resemblance to someone else
And i think so differently
Pointing out differences in thought despite resemblance
But i'm your son, don't forget
Asserting the familial relationship despite disagreements
Not your enemy
Clarifying the role as a son, not an adversary
Why can't you
Repetition of the plea for acceptance of true self
Accept me for who i am
Reiterating the importance of unconditional acceptance
I looked up to you
Recalling admiration during childhood despite current pain
All the time as a kid
Reflecting on constant admiration as a child
But now it hurts to say
Reaffirming the current emotional pain caused by you
You bring me down
Emphasizing the negative impact on emotional well-being
You bring me down
Reiteration of the recurring negative influence
It took a lot for me to walk away
Highlighting the difficulty in distancing myself
