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
