Lyrics by Benita Mae

Performed by Kylie Kain

I wrote this song because the previous song I wrote “What am I to You” hurt my mum. When I am writing i don’t think of how the song will affect people or my family. I felt terrible, so after that I wrote an apology song to mum to let her know that I never meant to hurt her.
Sometimes I write just for fun, or if I am bored or if I feel like writing. In this moment I felt like writing.

I’m a writer but I’m a liar I have a gift but I have a curse I’m scared to talk cause it will only make things worse I write stories but I write mistakes I hate myself for all the lies I make but the truth is this wasn’t always about me I hope you can see I hope you can understand, I hope you can understand, I hope you can understand I was so caught up in my glory that I lost faith and forgot who all this was for I wanted to get to the top so badly that I forgot about everything because I was in such a hurry I didn’t mean to start this war. I’m a writer but I’m a liar …… This is a thanks to my brother, and to my step-father, that I could never wish for something better, and a sorry to my mother, I took your love into question, you gave me a reason, to carry on through the storm, I would give anything just to see you smile again, I never meant to give you an aching heart I’m so sorry that I hurt you, so I’m trying to make it back to you. I’m a writer but I’m a liar……
