Some day when I'm away from here And you wonder why I'm gone One day I'll be far far away from here But you won't understand it was you that drove me away. I've always hated the coddling hated the feeling of inferiority And you just kept treating me like a little child in need of protection from life's harsh brutal winds. I never liked being kept from friends from people I well trusted Someday when I'm away from here You never will understand it was you that drove me away. The days now are flying freely away and soon I'll be gone from here I always wanted to leave the ''nest'' hated living where I'm not loved You drove me swiftly away. If you'd tried when I was small to love me as I wanted perhaps then things would be different but its too late to go back now. It was you that pushed me away. You never came to my soccer games, never showed that you cared at all and now your little baby girl will leave without looking back Because you pushed her away. But some day when I'm away from here And you wonder why I'm gone One day I'll be far far away from here But you won't understand it was you that drove me away.
