When I’m older I will go
Find a place of my own
I’ll get lost a few times
But I’ll be fine
When I’m older I will go
My own way, wherever that may lead me
It might go wrong a few times
But I know I’ll be fine
When I’m older
I’ll be me
Back when I was a little girl
You always meant the world to me
Safely in your arms
No place that I would rather be
But when I got older everything changed
I opened my eyes and now I see
The little girl that doesn't know what she wants
Is still who you want me to be
So I closed the door
Giving it time
Thought it might change
But all that I find
Is that you can't
Let me be
Who I am
Who I've always been
Who I want to be
And you can't
Let go
Of who I was before
Back when dreams were still just dreams
You used to love me telling you
About all the things I wanted
Things you thought I'd never do
I'm balancing right on the edge
Of following my d
Feels like I paid the price
At least a thousand times
They still won’t give it
They think I’ll be fine
Feels like I am running
And I’m out of breath
Still I have to keep running
On a road that doesn’t end
Feels like I am pitch black
But the world around me is white
We’ll never get along well
No matter how hard I try
My whole life is one big mess
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to choose
Wish I didn’t have to listen to what everyone says
Maybe they’re right
Maybe they’re not
I’ll have to do it on my own, I guess
I would have tried
Would have done anything
But then I grew up
And it changed everything
Now I can leave
I'm not scared anymore
I won't listen to your insults
Not like I did before
I can go my own way now
I'll go on on my own
If you don't want to support me
Then I'll do it alone
You can't bring me down again
After everything I've been through
I've been hurt enough now
I have cried enough now
So here's to you
My final goodbye
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll be fine
Just a few more months
Then I'll be strong enough
I know it'll be hard
The road will be rough
But I'll make it, I swear
So save your painful words
The ones you just gave me
Will be
Born to be loved by your parents.
Why?
Because you're their child.
Is it rare to be loved for who you are?
Isn't it weird that some only love their family because they're family?
Mother, why do you love me if the only reason why you do is because I'm your daughter?
Can't you love me for who I am?
Why does it feel like you're only seeing the worst in me?
Can't you see anything else?
If you only love me because I'm your daughter,
I'd like to leave now
and find people who love me for who I am.
People that understand me,
like you will never do.
If you really loved me you would have shown it by now.
I know
the only reason that you love me
is bec
You don’t need to tell me
I can already see
How the world brings you down
I know why you feel like giving up
I can see what they do to you
And I can see what it does to you
But you don’t have to feel this way
Come and forget all your worries
Look forward to tomorrow
But you can’t
I can see you already gave up fighting
I understand, but I’m still fighting for you
Blood drips on the ground
As you desperately try to forget
how the world pulls you down
You want to scream, yell, shout
But you can’t, and I know
How it hurts you
Teardrops leave your eyes
As you try to cry your pain away
But it doesn’t help
I can still see you
running away
through the high grass, yes
you’re on your way
nose close to the ground
you’re happy, so it seems
the way that you run
makes it look like I’m dreaming
imagining, hoping
that this would still be real
I know that it’s not
even though I still feel like
I can still see you
standing in the doorway
we all knew exactly
what you wanted to say
you’d bark and wag your tail for us
‘til one of us would play
thinking of that again
I wish I could still say
“hey, don’t bite my nose!”
or “go grab the ball, dear!”
you’ve got no idea
how much I wish you&rs
