Heavy

You don't know how heavy it is
To be your everything all of the time
You seem to think we're just fine

First thing when I wake up in the morning
And the last thing at night
You've got to have your arms around me
I just wish you wouldn't squeeze so tight
You talk a great deal of independence
But you sure don't do it right

There's something hanging over my shoulder
There's someone running 'round my dome
You'll find when you are older
You've got to learn to be alone

I know how much better it is
To be unfettered and detached, free to roam
But you needed a home

Can't get through a book or rent a movie
Can't read the paper undisturbed
Every move I make you do it for me
Before I say a word
I would consider suicide
But my thoughts might be overheard

There's something hanging over my shoulder
There's someone running 'round my dome
You'll find when you are older
You've got to learn to be alone

There's something hanging over my shoulder
There's someone running 'round my dome
You'll find when you are older
You like to be alone
