i wanna know what it was like to be you,,,
when i kicked and i screamed and i fought.
i wanna know what it was like to be you,,,
when i turned against everything i was taught.

i wanna know what it felt like to watch me,,,
hurt myself,, and anyone that got in my way.
i wanna know what it felt like not knowing,,
for years, where i was on any given day.

i wanna know what i did to your heart strings.
i wanna feel the pain that i caused.
i wanna know who you dreamed that some day i would be,,
i wanna know what you thought during that 20 year pause...

i wanna know 'cause i don't think i can be,,
what i know i need to become in the end..
if i don't know exactly what it felt like,,
to be the mother i wouldn't let be my friend...
