Congratulations

I just need to hear it
Want to be told 
It’s all I’ve ever wanted. 

Congratulations, congratulations. 
Congratulations, congratulations. 

I know it wasn’t easy to be around me 
When I was a teenager, all I did was cause destruction, and chaos. 
Running away, rebellious, and mischief. 

But look where I am now, 
Take a look at all the things I’ve accomplished. 
I’m not that teenage kid anymore 
So why can’t you look me in the eye? 
Why can’t you call me or have a conversation with me? 
All I ever did was try to make you proud, 
Proud of the man I’ve become. 

Congratulations, congratulations. 
Congratulations, congratulations. 

I know it wasn’t easy to be around me 
When I was a teenager, all I did was cause destruction, chaos. 
Running away, rebellious, mischief. 

All I ever wanted was to hear those words 
Telling me, you’re proud of me,
Telling me congratulations. 
But it’s like those words aren’t in your vocabulary, 
Haven’t seen each other in years,
It’s like I don’t exist. 

Congratulations, congratulations. 
Congratulations, congratulations. 

I know it wasn’t easy to be around me 
When I was a teenager, all I did was cause destruction, chaos. 
Running away, rebellious, mischief. 

There’s no pleasing you, there’s no way around it. 
Everything I’ve done, everything I have, everything I’ve accomplished, I’ve done it for me. 
I’ve thought for so long, 
Trying to get your approval, 
Your acknowledgment 
The recommendation I’ve been seeking. 

I can’t keep thinking like this, 
Nothing is gonna change, 
I just want to hear that one word 
Congratulations
