Break Free

Why are you so controlling?
Why are you overprotective?
Why can't I do what I want?
Look at it through my perspective.

I haven't done a thing on my own
Or had any true friends
You controlled every aspect of my life
And made me play pretend.

You have to let me make experiences
Take crazy chances and make mistakes
But you want me to be perfect
And the thing is no one is made that way.

You tell me how to dress
You tell me what I should say
You even tell me what I should like
Why does everything have to go your way?

Why can't I just live
And live this life of mine?
If you live it for me
How am I supposed to know what's right?

I'm sick and tired of pretending
And you telling me what I should believe
I need space from your actions
Please, I just wanna break free.

I'm sorry for disrespecting you
But understand what I'm trying to say
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
Please let me go my way.

I'm my own person now
Just jope you understand
From now on I'll show the world
The girl I really am.

Don't get mad at my decision
Or act like its the end of the world
I don't wanna be who you want me to be
I just wanna experience life on my own.
