Can I Live Now?

by goot   Dec 19, 2004


After all the suicide attempts
And problems in the past
I left my childhood with a boom
And all of it went so fast

But now Im growing up
I have my very own life
Mum, why cant you let me go
Instead of causing strife?

I have my own life you see,
I live in a different world
We have our similarities
But my life is coming unfurled

Im growing up and changing
Its time for you to let go
And the thing is just this
I need to let you know

I love you mum, but cant you see
I have to live MY life
You cant live for me any more
Or I'll fall back to the knife
