Growing Up to Be Alone

When I go out with my mother
She goes one place, I go the other
She'll call me when she's in my zone
It seems I'm growing up to be alone

I thought I saw her, my heart racing
And it wasn't her at all
One day I'll drive myself to the mall then home
Seems I'm growing up to be alone

How do I get along?
So much thrown and expected
At me, of me
Furiously wanting freedom
And hating small-town norms

Drive away into my own sunset of today
Forever shown
I'm growing up to be on my own

I feel like my own lover
Ditching ego and making love to myself
Madonna, Gaga
Benatar, Bowie
Sometime's it's wonderful to be lonely
Because it's temporary and necessary
Life can be scary
But I'm strong enough, not as weary anymore
Autonomous Lillie-Love
I must confess, I feel better holding your hand
