(words and music by Xander Rapstine)

Was I around way too much
or never enough?
Was I not enough of a challenge
or was it just too damn tough?
Did I not pay enough attention
or did I suffocate you?
Which one will it be this time?
You have your choice, so choose

Was I not nice enough?
Should I have been more mean?
Was I too much like a friend?
Tell me, what should I have been?
Did I remind you of your father
or your brother, too?
If so, might I ask a question,
is that what families do?

I know -- that that's not how you planned it
I know -- that this is how it has to be
I know -- that one day I'll understand it
and I wonder who will hear these lines after me

Were we just way too different
or too much alike?
Was my future way too dismal
or simply way too bright?
Was I too dominant?
or was I the wimp?
Did I ask you to be my mother
or did I try to be your pimp?

I know -- that that's not how you planned it
I know -- that this is how it has to be
I know -- that one day I'll understand it
and I wonder who will hear these lines after me

Did you really think I'd take this lying down?
Did you think I'd buy your excuses without a sound?
Did you just expect me to be how I was before?
Now I'm still dying, how easily you closed those doors

I know -- that that's not how you planned it
I know -- that this is how it has to be
I know -- that one day I'll understand it
and I wonder who will hear these lines after me

Was I around way too much
or never enough?
Was I not enough of a challenge
or was it just too damn tough?
Did I not pay enough attention
or did I suffocate you?
Which one will it be this time?
You have your choice, so choose
You have your choice, so choose
You have your choice, so choose
Choose
