[Verse 1]
I'm not that close to my parents
They're unaware if I'm doing alright
I joke about life as a child
I force a smile when someone asks why

[Pre-Chorus]
But now I'm older, can't seem to cry
And I can't call them when I wanna die
Scared to have kids who have my dad's eyes
'Cause they'd look at me like he did all my life

[Chorus]
You can't choose your parents
But I'm better off without mine

[Verse 2]
Some days are harder than others
Thank God for my mother on that day in June
Cautious of history repeating
'Cause sometimes I see him in things that I do

[Pre-Chorus]
I hate that I wonder what I'd be like
If he'd let me live, 'cause I barely survived
Scared to have kids who have my dad's eyes
'Cause they'd look at me like he did all my life
[Chorus]
You can't choose your parents
But I'm better off without mine

[Bridge]
Mine, mine
Without mine (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
What would I be like (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
Without mine? (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
Wondered my whole life (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
Without mine (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
What would I be like (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
Without mine? (Who would I be? Who would I be?)
And I keep asking why (Who would I be? Who would I be?)

[Chorus]
You can't choose your parents
But I'm better off without mine

[Outro]
(But I'm better off without mine)
