I Don't Want to Grow Up


The time has come

Most are glad to be free

I on the other hand ignore the thought of being on my own

I can't handle living by myself

Knowing I will not be able to run down the hall when I have a nigtmare

Sure I have the option to stay here

But since the beginnning you have set my goals

To leave home for my own success

And I have done it, I have reached the point

I have a path set in front of me

And I am happy with the choices I have made

But dad, don't let me grow up

I don't want to face the rest of this alone

So mom, I don't want to grow up
