You say to show you that I’m responsible But every time I do you look away You say I can't have this till I'm grown up But how old do I have to be You are always telling me these things Always shouting in my face Always applying just a little bit more pressure But when are you going to start seeing the things that you have been missing? You have always told me to act like my siblings But when I do you scold me for doing so You tell me to act my age But when I do You ground me How much more of this topsy turvy world must I take How much more do you need to tell me How much more do I need to show you Why can't you ever be happy with just me I may not always be responsible But I am when it counts I may make mistakes But thats what I'm supposed to do Can't you see how much has changed Can't you see that I'm still not 5 You are eventually going to miss everything I wish you would catch up to the RESPONSIBLE ME

Responsibility
You say to show you that I’m responsible But every time I do you look away You say I can't have this till I'm grown up But how old do I have to be You are always telling me these things Always shouting in my face Always applying just a little bit more pressure But when are you going to start seeing the things that you have been missing? You have always told me to act like my siblings But when I do you scold me for doing so You tell me to act my age But when I do You ground me How much more of this topsy turvy world must I take How much more do you need to tell me How much more do I need to show you Why can't you ever be happy with just me I may not always be responsible But I am when it counts I may make mistakes But thats what I'm supposed to do Can't you see how much has changed Can't you see that I'm still not 5 You are eventually going to miss everything I wish you would catch up to the RESPONSIBLE ME
