Mother to daughter

I thought I had just closed my eyes for a brief second

But I've already become old

I thought you would always be a little child

But you're already grown

I still don't know life very well

So I don't have much to say to you

But with this heart wishing you more happiness

I search inside my chest for words to tell you

"Go study" no, that's too mundane

"Always be kind" no, even I couldn't do that

"Love no, that's a hard thing to do

Find your own way in life

I thought I had lived life long enough

But I'm only 15 years old

I wanted to always be that lovely daughter of yours

But I'm already so unlovable

I still don't know life very well

So I have a lot of things I want to learn

But when you just keep repeating the same words to me

I shut the door to my heart more tightly

"Go study" I know how important that is too

"Always be kind" can't you see I'm trying?

"Love" I don't want to hurt myself further

Just let me find my own way in life

"Go study" no, that's too mundane

"Always be kind" no, even I couldn't do that

"Love no, that's a hard thing to do

Find your own way in life

Can you forgive me for not being a better mother?

Can you promise me that you'll be a better mother than me?
