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
