You Can't
21 April, 2003
Author: Ghost
You can't do both Ashley
You can't dance and ride horses
You have to choose between the two
So, until you do,
Take care of my horses as well as yours
You worthless girl
I buy you nice things but they aren't good enough.
You ungrateful person.
You can't have both Ashley
You can't have a boyfriend and ride horses
There's no way to juggle school, riding and love.
You have no time to do anything else.
We only tell you this because we love you
We don't want to see you stretched too thin.
We will regulate everything you do.
You can't tell me wha I have time for.
You can't tell me I'm worthless
Then say you love me
You can't keep hiding behind my father
You can't keep doing drugs to ease the pain.
You can't laugh at me when I'm down
And all you've told me my whole life is that I can't

Thanks for the words you shared as there maybe more to come with the tricks of life |
