阴霾Jing_小晶 - Tough love
Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
I must find the way to power through a noble brow
I married once for love then my senses came
I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
Onto marrige number two I knew what I had to do
And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
Solved problem number one now to problenm number two
His deo-eyed littlle girl with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school
No I told her if she stayed
That she'd have to earn her keep
And so she became the maid
She was lazy
She was crazy
She was talking to the mice
She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price
I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
I coud have thrown her out
But I'm benevolent and kind
Mother your heart's too big for you
I knew what I had to do
After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
So lock them up
Throw away the key
There's one on every family tree
Ungrateful
Hateful
Vile too
The things she put you through
Break their spirit so they obey
Now they'll do anything you say
Maybe you'd call it cruel
But others would call it love
Tough love
I ask you
Is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things
Oh no they're so cute
When they're little but then they grow up
And just ruin everything
I never wanted children
Life was better on my own
All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone
But then one day I came across a flower growing free
It's magic kept me young
So I kept it all for me
But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
So I borrowed her and locked her up and hid her
In a tower
Years went by
Oh
The sacrifice and against my better judgment
I fed her once or twice
Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
But that's messy
Manipulatin's easily more fun
A little guilt a lot of force
Of course you have to lie
Remind them without you they'd shrivel up and die
They only have themselves to blame
If you'd been there you'd do the same
So work them hard 'til they fall in line
There's one way and it's only mine
Children are lazy
Spoiled too
But we know what to do
Govern them with a heart of stone
Lock them up so they're all alone
Maybe you'd call it cruel
But others would call it love
Tough love
Ugh
Her own tower with a water view
And she runs away the first chance she gets
These wretched brats think the world owes them something
But it doesn't
Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
But there was more I hand in mind a greater plan
I never cared to share
So the king would have to fall
But his child blocked the way to me
And fairest of them all
She was chubby
She was dumb
And grotesquely optimistic
She needed structure in her life
She wasn't realistic
I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
But then I caught her singing songs with birds
And then a boy
Love
Was I just sit by
And wait for her to take my crown
No
She had sealed her fate
She had to go and so she did
And you know what they say
An apple once a day keeps your enemies away
Don't be fooled by their tender smile
Give an inch and they'll run a mile
Our idea of a happy home
Is one where we live all alone
Dark
Depressing
Desolate
Now let's all drink to that
Call us wicked and call us mean cruel
And everything in between
You could say it's unjust
Turning their dreams to dust
This is what we call love
Tough love
