To my wonderful step-mom: I couldn't ask for a better one

lyrics

Well, I just wanna scream
that I'm a grown-up now
and I want you to notice
I'm not so selfish
but I know that no matter
what things I learn to do
I'll always be
your child

Yes, I forgot to call on Daddy's birthday
cooked you dinner with cayenne, instead of curry
don't earn enough money,
gave my sister head lice
and I failed at driving for the hundredth time

well, I just wanna scream
that I'm a grown-up now
and I want you to notice
I've grown less selfish
but I know that no matter
what person I become
I'll always be
your child

but I call home on every Sunday
and I live on my own, cook and do my own laundry
I work three jobs, and I study hard
why won't you see
that I have changed?

but it's still nice to come back home
wearing our P.J.'s in the living room
where the work is familiar,
the sheets haven't changed
and the love is free, and just the same

and I just wanna scream
'cause I'm a grown-up now
and I mess things up
sometimes I'm selfish
but I know that no matter
what things I fail to do
I'll always be
your child

I'll always be
your child
