you have to take me for who I am
there's part of me you'll never own
don't be afraid that I might fall
I'll catch myself on my own
try too hard and you may find
illusions that you cannot hold
don't be afraid I'll run away
don't try to catch me and then
I might stay
don't push me, don't be afraid
don't try to tell me I have to change
don't push me and you will see
I wanna give you my love for free
don't push me, don't push me
let it go
I need the chance to be myself
and look at things through my own eyes
so let me make my own mistakes
I'm old enough - to stand side by side
crowding me is not the way
you can't possess a living thing
I know that I - could fly away
but give me space and then
I will stay
don't push me, don't be afraid
don't try to tell me I have to change
don't push me and you will see
I wanna give you my love for free
don't push me
but thank you for all that you give me
there's things I'll never forget
but if you hold sand too tight you will lose it
I hope that you'll remember that
so thank you for all that you give me
I love you just like you are
just love me back and accept me
together we'll go very far
don't push me, don't be afraid
don't try to tell me I have to change
don't push me and you will see
I wanna give you my love for free
don't push me
don't push me, don't be afraid
don't try to tell me I have to change
don't push me and you will see
I wanna give you my love for free
don't push me
don't push me
don't push me
