Opened up a box of you,
Piece of paper or two,
With my name written on it, 
and a question mark:
"Who is this girl that I’ve made?"
‘cause I’ve been kept in the dark.


And I’ve seen you once, Father
In the fear of your belts and leather,
And you were just about to tempter,
There was distance,
You’re my spout resistance.


And I cant believe that 
you still don’t know me,
‘cause I am a mystery.


So I separated 
all the things that I have hated,
With the victories I’ve won,
And the biggest one was you.


You don’t know my street 
or the size of my feet or,
or the time it took to grow.
‘cause Father these are things you should know,
These are things you should know.


Knocked the breath right out of you,
But what’s a brown-eyed girl to do?
When her future lies on chasing paper.
And all I get from you is:
“You’re so clever" and "I’ll see you later.”


And I just cant hide my frustration,
When there’s so much more you could have done.
Like given me hope and attention instead of ignore,


But I don’t mind,
no, I don’t mind because he is just a boy,
Because we are children,
We are merely children,
And he is just a boy.


So I separated 
all the things that I have hated,
With the victories I’ve won,
And the biggest one was you.


You don’t know my street or 
the size of my feet or,
or the time it took to grow,
‘cause, Father, 
these are things you should know.
