Let me go, I want to feel alive
These years should be my golden years
Life is too short, this is my own time

The sun is starting to set, I need to thrive
Forget the times you have put me in tears
Let me go, I want to feel alive

Last time I checked, I'm fourteen, not five
This world's not as dangerous as it appears
Life is too short, this is my own time

Some freedom and maybe I will survive
I must do this alone, to fight my fears
Let me go, I want to feel alive

This life is hard, but I'll stay alive
I won't let you see the make-up that smears
Life is too short, this is my own time

If I try to save my life, to revive
Quick, please, be quick, before I disappear
Let me go, I want to feel alive
Life is too short, this is my own time
