Brought Up That Way Sunday, June 26, 2011 @ 4:29 PM
For the past 2 years, I don't give a damn to whatever you want to do. You may have screwed your life up, but that is what you choose. It was not me or your parents who have brought these to you. If you are really mature enough, you should know that money is not everything, pass your exams is nothing great. What matters is the people whom you want to keep by your side until you are old, and the kind of respect you hope from the people you care. If you don't know how to respect yourself, don't expect respect from others.
Nobody can watch you for life, so grow up. If you want to blame your parents, why don't you blame yourself. Your future is held in your hand, nobody has the right to take control over it. How you want to live your life is not depend on your parents, but how you live your life affects your parents.
If you don't know how your parents are thinking, for the age you might claim that it is "too young to understand", here is the song that speaks super loudly of how your parents think.
Brought Up That Way - Taylor SwiftEmily comes home from school,
grabs onto her daddy's hand,
he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
she says "please don't make me go back there again"
She said "I wish there was some way to make them stop it"
so he drives down to that principle's ofice and says
"I didn't bring her up
so they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
so they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
to see that little girl's smile
so why are tears pouring down
that sweet face?
she wasn't brought up that way"
Emily's home late again
he sees that boy drive away
oh, but something different this time,
she doesn't have too much to say
she said "he tried but there's just some things I won't do"
and through the tears
she said "I couldn't do that to you"
and he said
"I didn't bring you up
so he could wear you down
take that innocent heart
and turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life to see my little girl's smile
so don't let nobody take that away,
you weren't brought up that way"
The phone rings on a rainy night
says "it's Officer Tate"
he said "sir, there's been an accident,
you better come down here right away,
a drunken driver missed an overpass,
and Emily, she's fading fast"
he says "God,I didn't bring her up
to watch them lay her down
nearly killed me the day
they put her
momma in the ground
only thing that kept me alive,
was that little girl's smile
so please don't take that away,
I won't be easy taking her today,
she wasn't brought up that way"
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes
Doesn't that speak loudly of the story of a parent?
You go and think.
