Songtext von Dad, Mom (I'm not blaming you)

Ashamed of yourself Of the image reflected in the mirror Since when did I start feeling this way So uncomfortable? So I'll tell you a little about myself Yeah, I never fit in A young man who was a bit disconnected Just like most people Coming into the world without having been planned Dad, mom I'm not blaming you I know You grew up like this too Victims of the domino effect Blinded by the pleasure of the moment That's how I came into the world Without the slightest idea Dad, mom Tell me what your plans are! What do you want from me? Will I be just another one Or the one who will break this cycle? Dad, mom I'm not a superhero You didn't raise me for that! What do you expect from me? I don't have superpowers! I'm not like the successful neighbor's son I never got good grades in school And I wasn't even the teachers' favorite! You told me to run away from fights That it was better to be a living coward Than a dead bully! Dad, mom I always lowered my head I did as you told me! Why do you blame me for my cowardice now? How many times have I been humiliated? How many times have I held back my silent tears? Dad, mom I don't even know who I am anymore Where did my courage go? I'm afraid of the world out there! Where did my self-confidence go? I'm ashamed of my own reflection! Where did my self-esteem go? I can't even handle myself! Dad, mom Tell me what your plans are! What do you want from me? Will I be just another one Or the one who will break this cycle? Dad, mom I'm not a superhero You didn't raise me to be one! What do you expect from me? I don't have superpowers! Dad, mom I don't blame you
