To Keep This Smile On My Face

Well you say you only have my best interest at heart
But I'm not a child anymore and I don't need your
Tough love so you should just give it up
I'll do what I want even if it means breaking
Hell wide open, I don't need a big brother and the
Only father I call father is the one up above...
I'm not saying I don't appreciate your concern
But crash or burn I have to learn from my own
Mistakes, call me selfish but I'll do whatever it takes
To keep this smile on my face...
I understand where you're coming from but when
All is said and done I will do the right thing but
Until then you just need to leave me be, no I
Don’t need your tough love by no means and I
Refuse to feel like a prisoner let me make that
Perfectly clear, maybe it's the Aries in me but me
Have to be independent and free...
I'm not saying I don't appreciate your concern
But crash or burn I don't need your tough love
So give it up, just give it up, call me selfish but no
Matter what it takes I will do whatever it takes
To keep this smile, TO KEEP THIS SMILE ON MY
FACE!
