You gave me a home to sleep tonight.
You’ve given me hope to stay alive.
I’d scream at the top of my lungs just to get my way.
And maybe someday I’ll finish school
And be all the things you want me to,
But for now I will travel the world and see if it works.

I can fight for myself but you need to know

Baby, please [bad word] away from me.
I know that times are hard,
And if you leave now, life will still go on.
And I'll chase my dreams, but you will never see.
That’s why this song was made,
'Cause you need to know that I’m still the boy you loved.

You’ve given me strength to be a man
Even when I could hardly stand,
And now I feel that you need me to do the same for you.
Maybe someday I’ll straighten up,
But college was never quite enough,
So for now I will travel the world and make it work.

I can live on my own but you need to know

Baby, please [bad word] away from me.
I know that times are hard,
And if you leave now, life will still go on.
And I'll chase my dreams, but you will never see.
That’s why this song was made,
'Cause you need to know that I’m still the boy you loved.

I know we are on our own.
We’re not kids anymore.
We’re not kids anymore.
And I know we are far from home.
We’re not kids anymore.
We’re not kids anymore.
