I should've listened to you
I was supposed to see it through
But I thought that I was smart
Now my life's falling apart
When you're young, stupid
Sometimes living in your head
And you don't see the picture
You just see it as torture
Not realizing they were there
It's true that some parents care
They wanna give you opportunity
So that you can be forever free
And not stuck in reverse gear
Or being locked up in your fear
Regretting their own mistakes
A curse they wanted to break
If I looked through their eyes
And see they were only helping
But in my mind it was all lies
I just saw them as controlling
Now I'm all grown up hooray
And it's a repeat of yesterday
More struggling, strife and pain
At times I wish I was a kid again
