You're not getting through to me
I'm sorry
What'd you just say
I don't get it
Don't repeat it
I'm not worth your breath
Stop trying to help
It doesn't work
It just hurts
The more you pull me towards you
The farther away I will run
If you love something
Let it go
Let me go
I need to make misstakes
And learn from them on my own
Stop taking credit for my mistakes
I'm gonna mess up again and again
Until they're MY mistakes
Let me screw up
Unhook this leash
If I need you
I'll come back home
But if you don't let me leave
I'll never figure out if home is the place for me

Ooh good one, from this point of view- its interesting to hear and important to know. Thank you... because Im kinda protective over my friend, so like, it's good to hear this out. so I'll watch it, but I think the people that care for u are just trying to help u to not make mistakes..
