Let me go

The letting go
is difficult
but 16 years ago
you knew the day would come

the day i'd say
please
let
me
go

let me make my own mistakes
and let me learn from them
protecting me from making any
doesn't make any sense

i'm not your little girl anymore
and no i'm not a grown up yet too
but please just remember
a long time ago
you were just like me

i know you mean it well
and i understand your reaction
but please i'm begging you
let me go
and let me learn from my mistakes

please
let me go
let me go
let me go
