I Can Decide

by Carlee Ann   Jun 12, 2005


Stop telling me what to do
I know me better than you

You think you know what is best
Give your thoughts a time to rest

It's not up to you to decide
It's not you living my life

Let me go where I want to go
Let me show what I want to show

I promise I'll be smart
When you and I come apart

I'm a big girl, I swear
I even pick out what I wear!

So let me go, for once
I've had way more than enough

You can't tell me what to think
Or if I'm going to float or sink

I might make a mistake
But that's a chance I'm willing to take

If I screw up, that's ok
It is my consequence I'll have to pay

I'll do the deciding
I'm living, not dying

I can use common sense
Stop acting so worried and tense!

Let me live my life
And just stick by my side

It's mine to live, not yours
It's my decisions I live for

In you I will confide
But it's up to me to decide!

*new form again.. be nice...*
