I need to break free,
to jump from this nest.
You're smothering me
please, just give it a rest.
The things you say,
you think I don't know.
I just want to leave,
but have no way to go.
You need to let me be me,
stop trying to control.
I'm not little anymore,
I've suffered so much pain.
I know how to live,
and how to make my own way.
You can't tell me how anymore,
I've grown and I know,
how cruel the world can be.
You're smothering me,
please just let me be.
I'm my own person now,
and the more you try to restrain,
the further you push away.
You're smothering me,
please just let me be,
please its okay.
If I need you, you'll know.
But.
I need to break free,
to fly from this nest!
