Legacy

She tried to make it
She really did
She even sometimes faked it
Who does she think she is?

Don't stare at me
I did nothing to you
I'm just trying to prove
That I'm more than what you see,
I'm just trying to not fall short of
My legacy.

She tried to make herself shout
To believe she's someone
But daddy blew his brains out
And this is who she is now.

Don't stare at me
I did nothing to you
I'm just trying to prove
That I'm more than what you see,
I'm just trying to not fall short of
My legacy.

My heart is broken
I must confess
And all I got left
Is this created mess.
I want to be somebody
Bigger than me,
But it turned out to be
So tiny-
This legacy.

Don't stare at me
I did nothing to you
I'm just trying to prove
That I'm more than what you see,
I'm just trying to not fall short of
My legacy.
