ooh somebody's daughter



give me room to breathe

there are times when i feel i could drown without water

give me time to see

just one dream that is mine



i feel the wind and the water

i see the sun and the rain

forgive the sins of your daughter

and she will pray for you



i'm breaking the frame

each day's the same

you should be somebody's daughter

day after day

of feeling this way

you should be somebody's daughter



please say i can leave

try to ease this pain that i feel may be killing me

free me from a life

that is cold, that is mine



i am the dutiful lover

i am the perfect mother

forgive the sins of others

but please don't pray for me



i'm breaking the frame

each day's the same

you should be somebody's daughter

day after day

of feeling this way

you should be somebody's daughter

if you opened your eyes and tried

you could read between the lines



i'm wasting away

with nothing to say

i am somebody's daughter
