Find My Way

[scribbliz]

I've followed you for far too long
The path I've walked is not my own
I've stumbled and fallen to my knees
As I try to walk the path you say

You tell me where I need to go
And you tell me how to get there
My ever step is set for me
And god help me if I stray

I try so hard to walk the road
That you've laid out for me
But even though our destination's the same
Your path is slowly killing me

This isn't who I am
I can't walk your path for you
I have to find my own way
And learn to stand alone

I can't do things the way you want
No matter how hard I try
I fight to keep you happy
But that job was never really mine

I can't prevent your rage
It isn't really up to me
But the anger that you show me
Is breaking me apart

I can't survive this assault
I'm bleading to death so slowly
From a thousand tiny paper cuts
That have shredded my broken heart

But this can't be my life
I won't survive this pain
I have to find my own way
And learn to stand alone.
