Why can’t you accept who I choose to be?

Why can’t you stop trying to live your dreams through me?

It is time you understood that I am not you

I don’t want what you do

The girl you used to know existed only in your mind

Why can’t you see that you’re leaving me behind?

Why can’t you stop and lend a hand?

Why can’t you try to understand?

If you think the girl you got was wrong

Go ahead keep searching but don’t drag me along

Of that perfect child only I remain

Why can’t you accept that and stop causing so much pain?

I am tired of this fight

Tired of the tears at night

Your perfect plans are all laid out but yet I don’t fit in

So stop fighting this battle neither you nor I can win

So find another girl for it is time you moved on

That perfect child you used to know is well and truly gone

The perfect life and perfect girl is just a fantasy

You've made yourself blind and deaf to reality

So hear me now this is my choice

It is way past time that I raised my voice

My life is my own so listen to what I have to say

This is who I am so move on from yesterday
