Held Back

This song is done to the tune of the song "So Long (My Friend)" by dcTalk.


Verse 1: You think that you can tell me what to do.
Well then, I guess it’s true.
But do you ever think of how I feel at all?

You keep me back from everything you see,
That might do harm to me.
But do you realize a have a life to live?

I know you’re doing this because you care
But I don’t think it’s fair.
I just want a chance to be a normal kid.

Pre-Chorus: Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.
Let me live a life that’s mine
Not yours

Chorus: I know you love me and I’m glad that you do (my dad)
But I’m annoyed by things that you do (my dad)
Can’t I have a say?
(2x)

Verse 2: My church is going on a trip again
Why can’t I go with them?
They’re going to a Christian camp one hour away.

And you said no a million times before
‘Cause camp is only for
People with lives and clearly that just isn’t me

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Bridge: If you won’t let me leave you
(Keep me with you every day)
Will I ever go away?
(‘Cause you can’t make me stay)
‘Cause I’m going to college
(In just three years so…)
Why?

Chorus
