For Your Own Good
Verse 1
I must let you go
This is for your own good
I won't live forever
So you must take care of yourself
You may feel afraid
You may feel shy
But you should learn to stand on your feet
Verse 2
Listen more, talk less
Look often, stare rarely
Take the time to cry when you need to
Smile and laugh frequently
Bridge
You're growing up faster than I ever thought you would
Now is the time for you
To make something of yourself
Yes, life will be hard
And things will get complicated
But don't quit even if you get discouraged
Appreciate every moment
You'll be proud that you did
Chorus
I'm pushing you out into the world
So you can live and learn
And love on your own
You can't be dependant on me any longer
This is for your own good
