Holding Me Back

I was only a kid
Just lost, looking for my way
What did I do wrong
Please oh please tell me
And let me go

Just let me go
Why you gotta keep holding me
When you only want me gone
Just let me go

I just wanna run free
But you keep me here
Like I'm on chains
Your only drowning me

Just let me go
Why you gotta keep holding me
When you only want me gone
Just let me go

You only sucked the life out of me
Only to hold me back
And make this life for me miserable

Everything that I do is wrong
It's never good enough
Nor will it ever be

I know I was never good enough for either of you
Nothing but a disappointment
The look of disgust is all I see

But you won't let me go
You hate to see me happy
Keeping me locked away
Having control over me
Just gives you a thrill you won't stand to lose

It's the only happiness
In your miserable life
So you continue to make mine worse
It's all your good for
Your nothing to me anymore

The day I get away
I'll never look back
You'll only be a memory
That has scarred me forever

Just let me go
Why you gotta keep holding me
When you only want me gone
Just let me go

I'm begging you please
I'm down here own my knees
Begging to be free
Let me go, just let me go

Because the day I get away
I'll never look back
And you'll only be a memory
That has scarred me forever
