Who I Am

I'm not what you want,
Nor will I ever be.
Leave me to myself,
Instead of staying next to me.

You can't control me forever,
There's no way I'll let you.
Stop nagging the way I am,
There's nothing you can do.

Sometimes I need to be alone,
And sometimes with my friends.
But when you think there's no more time,
I'll make some in the end.

Leave me to my romance,
Leave me to my tears.
But when I scream into the night,
Please chase away my fears.

I know you always want me there,
But you have to let me fly.
Your little girl is growing up,
And you have to say goodbye.
