It’s almost been three years
Since you and dad found out
Since that day they took me away
From everything you didn’t know about
Is that not long enough for you
To finally let go of what I did
I was young and stupid
But I’m no longer that kid

I understand that you are worried
When I’m out and you don’t know where
But I tell you what I’m doing
So please get out of my hair
My friends might make mistakes
Like all people do
But if they go down the wrong road
They won’t be pulling me through

It’s almost been two years
Since I’ve touched a single pill
Since I looked away from everything
That had the intentions to kill
Is that not long enough for you
To accept that I am clean
I’m not going to risk my life again
To become another drug fiend

So you say that I’m still young
And I can’t make my own decisions in my life
But I’m old enough to work two jobs
And prepare to be somebody’s wife
I think you’ve got it wrong, dear mother
I can do so much more than what you’d expect
So you’re going to wake up one morning
And the only thing I’ll take from you is respect.
