lyrics

who is it you see in me ?
is it your son or a ghost ?
you've got my future all made up
but it was not made to fit
i have got dreams of my own
who knows if you believe in them ?
i probably should quiet them down
if i wanted to please

crushed in your loving arms
taking off feels cruel
in the shadow of your frown
i was stoned by concern
today i am going away
i'm tired to disappoint
i'll sing about my ideals
prove to myself they're not whims

compromises are small deaths
and i think i've lost some time
following the illusion
i had to earn your pride
i'd reenact your own mistakes
the ones that tame your life
it's time now i became someone
someone you did not dream of

packing my case with a smile
finally know what to do
i won't be struggling to convince
i won't wait for your blessing
look at me it's not as bad
just a tough step to go through
and it doesn't mean i love you not
i hope you'll understand
