Pacing slowly back and forth
I just got scolded for the worst
Thinking to myself am I to blame?
Father tells me what to do
Mother tells me how to feel
These days I wonder if I'm alive

So stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow
So stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see what I see? I need to grow

Can't have freedom, can't have taste
Can't I grow my hair this way?
Why do you try and tell me this is wrong?
The less you see the more you care
When I'm home you are not there
I am youth but I see it just the same

Stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow
So stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see what I see? So I will stop, stop

Stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see, can't you see it at all?
Stop, stop what you're doing to me
I don't feel anything, I don't even see it at all

So here I sit all alone, I'm not even fully grown
But there is so much I would like to say
I tend to talk endlessly about all that comes easy to me
Youth speaks now but I may end up being something huge someday

Stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow
So stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you see what I think? I need to grow
