Lyrics

You think my life is so easy
You wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Try growing up with 2 parents
Who've already given up on you
And I still love you, love you
And I still need you, need you
I still need you more and more
My father tries to tell me

How to live my life
Putting his words where they don't belong
For God's sakes isn't this my life
I've done nothing wrong
You always try to tell me what to say
Try to tell me what to do
But I still love you
And I still love you, love you
And I still need you, need you
Need you more and more, yeah
And I still love you, love you
And I still need you, need you

Need you more and more, yeah, yeah
I watch you walk through the door last night
And I could smell the alcohol on your breath
Did you hit me, hit me, just because I was there
Or did I pose some kind of threat

You always try to tell me what to say
Try to tell me what to do but
I still love you
And I still love you, love you
But I don't need you, need you
Need you anymore, yeah
And I still love you, love you
But I don't need you, need you
Need you anymore, yeah, yeah

God, please give me the strenght to believe
When this world keeps pushing me to my knees
Even though they keep holding me down
You're my family now
