Let Me Be Me

[sharmellow]


We are all expected to grow up fast and make life changing decisions
The tell us what to do
Be a doctor! Be a engineer! Be a president!
I don't want to decide just yet
Let me be a teenager
Let me be me
I want to be with my friends all day long
And make memories that will last forever
I don't want to stay in my room and study all day and all night
I'm not Einstein, you know
I want to play sports or rock out my instrument
Let me win medals and have fun
Let me play gigs and have a blast
Let me laugh and have fun
Don't make me be helpless and keep me locked up
I don't want to be pressured
I don't want to make life changing decisions
Not just yet
I know I will have to someday
But I ask you
Let me be a teenager for a little bit longer
Let me be me
