You Can’t Make Me

You can’t make me

So go ahead and try to break me

I have my own life

I make my own mistakes

If you feel this way then be that way

I’ll find something else to cling to

I don’t need your false hopes and broken promises

I don’t care if you think I need you

You don’t think I’m strong enough to handle the world

I’ll make it just fine

I’ll be okay without you

Your words insult and bring me down

But I don’t need them

I’ll find someone new to hold on to

You’re not going to get to me

I can handle what comes

Your flawless abilities

Mean nothing to me

You don’t need to rub it in my face

That you’re better than me

And you don’t need to shut me out

When I ask for your help

Don’t stand there like you’re so cool

And tell me there’s no chance I’ll improve

I know what I need to do

I know what I can do

I’ll stand up and face the worst

I’m not going to listen to you

I’m letting you go

I’m letting go of everything that holds me down

I’m not going to be you.

You can’t me make me

So go ahead and try to change me

You’re not going to break me.
