Weight On My Shoulders lyrics

I know you worked hard all your life
to give me everything I needed
but how much longer must I apologize
'cause you feel cheated and defeated
I never asked you to sacrifice
all your dreams and your entire life
I never questioned your ability
to be a provider for us, your family

So please don't throw your bitterness in my face
Don't make me carry this weight on my shoulders
All I needed was a little attention
and all I wanted from you was your affection
Please don't keep pushing me...away

I never criticized the decisions you made the way you criticized mine
Those words hurt more than you will ever know
but the wounds will heal in time
I never asked of you to sacrifice all your dreams and your entire life
I never questioned your ability to be a provider for us, your family
