My Scream Into the Void

You Need To Lose Control

Okay, here's the truth.
You're laying the pressure on thick.
And the thought of saying no to you or my dad
Makes me feel a little sick.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm staying where I am.
I'm going to school, buying a car, paying bills,
And learning how to stand.
But it's not just me who will grow.
This is for your benefit too.
You subconsciously rush things so I don't run away.
So this is for both me and you.
You hold on to me too tight.
I need you to relinquish your pull.
And I need you to learn how to love me as deeply
When you don't have control.

And I need you to learn how to love me as deeply
When you don't have control...
