Favourite Daughter

Ah I was a singer You were my fan When no one gave a damn It was you in the dark Scared of your anger In love with your whim Some notes I don't hit But I don't give up Now every day the plane takes off And every night the room fills up with People who are convinced I'm not Just some kid fakin' it for your love 'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya Breakin' my back just to be your favorite daughter Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya Breakin' my back, just hopin' you'll say I'm a star You had a brother, I look like him You told us as kids "He died of a broken heart" And for every door you open There's a room I can't go in I break in, I still can't find you Now that every day the plane takes off And every night the room fills up I tell myself that soon we'll talk Then I sing every word just to ya 'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya Panic attack just to be your favorite daughter Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya Breakin' my back to carry the weight of your heart But I keep dancin' 'til I get sick Why'd you have to dream so big? Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart? Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah I'm a good actress, look at the medals I won for ya So you could imagine bein' a favorite daughter Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya Breakin' my back just to be as brave as my mother
