My New Control
I can't control who I am
When you tell me who to be
I want to say no
When you tell me what to do
I want to scream no
When you tell me how to live my life
I will tell you I won't
You are a parent to me
Nothing more, nothing less
Someone ment to guide me
Not somoene who is to tell me how my life is going to be
You don't get to make my choices
You don't get my life to live
Just because you gave yours away
So what you didn't finish highschool?
So what you had a baby at 17?
So what you made bad choices?
My choices aren't yours
My choices aren't yours
You can't blame me for your mistakes
You don't get to blame my birth
It was your choice to get in that car that night
With him, with her
You chose each other
Now, I choose
I will go where I want in life
I will do what I want in life
I will live and laugh and fall hopelessly in love
Because you don't get to choose any longer
It's my life
I'm going to live it
I control who I am.
