You
I look in the mirror and I see youYour eyes, your lips, the shape of your face
It’s not me that I see, I see you
I’ll be honest, sometimes I am not in a good headspace
I try hard to live each day for you
All I want to do in life is make you proud
I miss everything about you
I am your little girl and will scream it loud
Everything good about me I learned from you
I’ve heard most of my life "you’re a lot like your dad"
Most of the tears I cry these days are for you
The rest are for my luck which is mostly bad
I am tired of living my life without you
But I know one day I will be by your side
Holding you deep in my heart as I share your memories
My life needs guidance so I can stop being Jekyll and Hyde
Only guidance that I am used to is from you
I feel others are out for themselves and their wants
I know I am always asking for guidance from you
It should be my turn now to show off and flaunt
