I wish you could see me for me,

And not who you wish or think I should be.

Stop pushing your dreams and ideals on me.

It's killing me.

I mean I know you only want the best for me.

But can't you see

You're suffocating me

Under your watchful eye filled with disdain

I feel like I'm being hit by a train

But mainly I'm just trying not to go insane

While trying to stop my life from going down the drain

And trying not to think about what I could've had

If I wasn't trying to keep you from being mad.

Because honestly I need you to understand

Why I say things are getting out of hand

It's simply that I feel like I'm in quicksand

Or on a ship looking for dry land

Now I'm overboard and need you to throw me a lifeline

Before I flat line

And yet with all this said you're still too blind to see

What you're doing to me

And now I beg you PLEASE just set me free.
