I can't take this anymore
I've counted down the days
Manipulation only works
If I'm of mind to be prey

But I won't let you lock me up
In your web of twisted truth
Lies, despise and falsehoods destroy
The innocence of youth

Frustrated teen
Can't overcome the stereotype
I'm not rebellious
Just cannot stand your slanted hype

I'm sick of thinking things will get better
I'm sick of almost falling for your tricks again
I'm sick of being trapped inside the system
Wondering, will life get better? And when?

Every other word from your lips a lie
Every saddened glance a thick disguise
But I see it in your eyes, you haven't changed
So why do I almost fall back again?

You take a step forward
I take two steps back
Every distraction present
Will no longer lead me off-track

You've nothing of value to me
Instead you're a waste of my time
So why don't you just let me be?
For I've got a life to live... and it's mine.

And you're not a part of it
No, you're not a part of it
Please
Let me go
Let me be
Because you're not a part of me
