Space to Grow

(humm-mm-mm) You yell at me,

I get it

You’re my mom, but it’s my grades

I’m trying hard, I’m not forgetting

I just need room to find my way

You see the numbers,

not the pressure

You see the score,

not

how I feel

I know you want my

life to be better

But sometimes I need you

to be still

(need you to be

still)

I'm studying deep in the quiet hours

While the house is fast asleep

I just want to prove my powers

And the promises I

keep

You see the numbers,

not the pressure

You see the score,

not

how I feel

I know you want my

life to be better

But sometimes I need you

to be still

But sometimes I need you

to be still (shhh...

be still)
