I wish that you would just leave me alone

Leave me alone to be free

I can't be what you want

I can only be me

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I can't do things I can't do

And I can't make myself do it

I can only try my hardest

But that isn't what you want, is it?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You make me want to cry out loud

And sometimes I just have to

Because you are such a bully

That I cannot think what I have to do

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You don't understand me at all

You try to make me be

Somebody that I'm not

But please, don't you see?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I am not the perfect person

You can't boast that either

But you should accept

That you're not what I want either

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If we can't agree to disagree

Then we should just not talk at all

Because if we do, you're going to see

That I am not happy at all

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I can't go through life

Hating myself because you do

I can't be what you want

What do you want me to do?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

If I can't help the way I am

And you won't accept it

Then I guess we are fated

To be against it

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So I beg you, please

If you love me at all

Please let me go

And catch me if I fall

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Let me learn from my mistakes

Let me see who I can be

But let me do it my way

Let me see who I can be

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
