It’s my life
I’m trying to grow
I’m trying to prosper
But I can’t do so with you in the back of
My mind.
I’m trying to grow
I’m trying to prosper
But I can’t do so with you trying to
Tie me to a tree like a dog.
You love me to death
I ran away.
You say you love me to death
I feel like running away.
You never pressured me
I feel like I pressured you.
You’re always pressuring me, say you
Can’t help it
I feel like I have to, even though I kind of
Want to.
I wish you didn’t worry so much and had more
Fun.
I wish you worried a tad bit more and had
The same amount of fun, maybe less.
I say to both of you, I can’t see the future,
People change.
Let me worry about here and now, and deal
With THAT when it happens.
I feel knotted in the memories we shared.
I may need a new brain.
The wish is to feel sane without the memory of you.
No strait jacket please.
Interference is the plan
Trying to forget is the unpleasant game.
