Crooked Eyes from Second Chances by Metajoker

I thought I could be
Someone I'm not, happy and free
I just want to be loved,
Become the one I'm dreaming of

But it doesn't make a different,
I see past the lies
The world's so clear now
To these crooked eyes

(Chorus)
And I really hoped
That things would change
But they will always
Be the same
What could I do
When times were tough?
It seems like everything
Was never enough

Sweet daughter of mine
Always so kind, no flaws to find
I know that it's hard
You're dealt this card, you want to restart

But it doesn't make a difference
I can't soothe your cries
The world's so cruel
To these crooked eyes.

(Chorus)
And I really hoped
That things would change
But they will always
Be the same.
What could I do
When times were tough?
It seems like everything
Was never enough.

And what was I to do?
I'm not as perfect as you
It's just not fair
That no one cares
I want to start anew

I really hoped
That things would change
But they will always
Be the same.
What can I do?
I just can't cope
And through it all
And through it all

(Chorus)
I really hoped
That things would change
But they will always
Be the same.
What could I do
When times were tough?
It seemed like everything
Was never enough.
