Please Let Me Go

 

Please let me go

I know the only reason you hold me so tightly

Is that you’re afraid to let me know

The truth about the world

But I’m a big girl now

And I already know about the evil out there

I won’t run far, I don’t know how

But please let me test my wings

 

Please let me go

You know I can’t stay protected forever

You have to let me go sometime

We won’t always be together

I need to learn, on my own

Why won’t you understand

I just want to be free to roam

Please let me stretch my legs

 

Please let me go

I promise I won’t break

But I have to know

What you keep hidden

I have to run away

Though I hate to hurt you

As I know I do each day

That I am gone

 

Please let me go

I begged you

But you just told me “no”

You wouldn’t give me freedom

So I just grabbed it from you

I’m sorry, I just did what I thought was best

Because you didn’t let me

Learn about the rest

You wouldn’t let me go.
