you dont approve of anything anymore
my music, my life, my freinds, me
nothing can satisfy you
i try my best
in school, in everything
but it doesnt matter
you have the stereotypical teen in your mind
sex, drugs, smoking, cutting, hurting, rebellion
you want perfect
well guess what
i cant be perfect.
i cant be the perfect little girl you used to know
i wanna be me, i wanna find out who me is
but with you here
i have to be a better you
you live your life through me
you were put down by your parents also
so you put me down
you make me feel like crap
well sorry
but that doesnt work for me
do you want to push me back to where i was?
do you want to make me cut again?
do you want to make me feel missrable again?
if you said no
then back off
and
let
me
be

I understand what you mean, it's hard to let your parents know you are not like them when they were younger, you're not like the world around you.

I really like this part:
i have to be a better you
you live your life through me

I hope you wil get over your problems with your parents and they let you be you:)
