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
