What Am I To You
Lyrics by Benita Mae
Performed by Sarah Lloyde
I wrote “What Am I to You” because Mum was spending a lot of time in Adelaide with my brother Jayden and I was feeling a little left out. I feel I can express my feeling when I write my songs.
What Am I To You?
Sorry that I’m not a goddess, is that what you want me to be?
Sorry that I’m not perfect, I can tell by the way you talk at me
How blind are you not to see?
Is that why I’m always left behind?
It’s okay I understand that you don’t have time for me
I’m trying so hard to be found
So that’s why I’m making all these sounds
What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you?
A daughter? A sister? A friend?
If that’s not what I am what am I then?
Am I even a person? Oh no
Please give me a reason, why I shouldn’t go
What am I to you? What am I to you?
I’m sorry I don’t know how to exist
I don’t know what lead me into the blackness
But you know I know I shouldn’t have to get messed up with you
You know I know I shouldn’t have to prove anything to you
I’m trying so hard to be seen
Please look at me before I scream
What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you?
A daughter? A sister? A friend?
If that’s not what I am what am I then?
I don’t have a clue, so I’m asking you
What am I to you? What am I to you?
What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you?
Sorry that it come out this way
But I don’t know what else to say
I’m not trying to push my family away, to see you I pray
What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you?
A daughter? A sister? A friend?
If that’s not what I am what am I then?
Do you even care? Will you even be there?
Will I survive?
Will I even make it out of this alive?
What am I to you? What am I to you?
