This is a little-known song by Rick Springfield: (entitled "Your psychopathic mother")
I relate to it 100%!
Your psychopathic mother
told you, you were beautiful
just not beautiful enough
I know why you give yourself away
cause they make you feel special
but you never feel special enough
And I can still breath you in
Skin warm from the hot desert sky
Right here, right now is all there is
and yesterday is dead
Tomorrow never comes
Right here, right now is all there is
Was it something that I said
You just went numb
Your disinterested father taught you
that a man's attention is precious
and you never called his bluff
I gave everything I could to you
because I think you're precious
I can never make you feel precious enough
And I could still breath you in
Oh Layah, I won't even try
Right here, right now is all there is
and yesterday is dead
Tomorrow never comes
Right here, right now is all there is
We laughed until we bled
it felt so dumb
Your psychopathic mother told you
you were beautiful
Just not beautiful enough
