you say that you love me
and that with you im always safe
but i feel like im going to suffocate
youre smothering me, your just coming too close
youre closing me in, its like parent overdose
i want to be free to make mistakes
i want to learn on my own
ill do what it takes
dont make me avoid you
dont make me put up walls
ill do what it takes
through dark caves ill crawl
ill swim against rushing currents
ill crash into waves
ill climb the highest mountains
just to live life my way
i can make my life happen
i dont need all your help
i can do somethings on my own
i want to live for myself
dont want to worry
about pleasing you all the time
dont want to wonder
what you meant by that sigh
ill break down closed doors
ill swim across lakes
ill work hard forever
if thats what it takes
will that prove to you
that although its tough
youve done enough
