Too Over Protected

You can't protect me from everything
You can't lock all the doors
Can't keep me from doing my own thing
Because soon enought my anger
Will soon hit the floor

If I choose to do something
You can't keep kicking me out
Because you don't like what I do or hang with
Or because its not on what you want
Just to let you know keep it up
And my soul will ghostly haunt

Can't you see I can't breathe
With you holding me down
Or trying to force my way
"This is what's good for you"
Listen it's not me 

Everyday you never see I always hide my frown
And I put on an act with a smile 
So happy all joy
But understand it can only last for awhile
Sooner or later I'll break
And that is then my soul God shall take

Can't you for one minute look
And see that this pain runs deep
And that cry you hear at night 
It's me 
Letting my tears free
Because sometimes the pain hurts so bad 
I can't sleep you even make mad
These emotions won't set me free
I remain trapped too over protected

You are driving me up the wall
Why do you care when for me someone calls
It's none of your concern
Why can't I go out and explore
Just to go out and find what I can learn
My freedom I want more

Stop trying to lock me in this hell hole
Let me make my own path
Before I get too old
Let me decide my future all my own
Let me be me 
Before I'm too grown
Too over protected
Set the thought free
