I'm so sorry
 I'm so stubborn
 Deaf in one ear
 And out the other
 
 I'm just like my mother
 And hers before hers before hers
 
 I'm working so hard
 To understand myself
 I can't begin to know you
 Though I've memorised your face
 
 Beside me on the pillow
 Dreaming of a super-hero
 
 I wish I saw what you do when you sleep
 In all my dreams I'm a helpless humiliated creep
 I wish I was the girl behind your REM
 Every day you look at me and tell me that I am
