I never gave out those signs!
Snap out of it, you’re not making any sense.

I think I understand:
I can be happy with or without you,
I just realized that I can’t allow myself
To be dictated by you.

You better be the best friend I ever had.
Don’t pressure me; I’m not like that.
And agreement that can’t be met, I’m terribly sorry
I guess I’m an accomplice.

A date is a date, no matter the title.
I’ll not go to Prom; friends don’t go to Prom.

I’m just a kid.
No, I’m a young adult.
But I’ll never be what you want me to be.
I’m sorry.

"People freaked out when I ‘changed.’ Truth is, I didn’t change; I just stopped being what they wanted me to be."
