i know you see me
as he saw you.
the mistakes you made,
'bet I'll make them too.
but we're different people,
i being my own,
so with all due respect,
please leave me alone.
i know you love me
and i know you care,
sorry i hurt you,
i was harsh, i'm aware.
but you aren't your father
and i'm not mine.
so let me make my own errors
and leave yours behind.
let me start from scratch,
let me design the future i see,
i won't forget you,
or the wisdom you shared with me.
