Lyrics

i won't pretend that i like where i find myself
am i here because you always carry me when i need help
i let you protect me
i won't deny that it's easy that way
i could get by living a lie
but it's eating at me every day

i'm not telling you to go
but things should change now that i've grown
i took a long look at my life
and found i could stand up on my own

i won't say i'm not scared to rely on myself
and i know that there is no choice between sickness and health
you might think i'm ungrateful
if i turn away from your helping hand
it's nothing to do with how i love you
i'm just feeling like less of a man

i'm not telling you to go
but things should change now that i've grown
i took a long look at my life
and found i could stand up on my own
