A mother and a father
cooked up a perfect world
yet set no place for failure
for their little girl

with a shiny little lunch box
barets and little curls
and a menue set for life they
served her their world

where she loved to run
but never could hide
from the stomach pains
from the knots inside

now she looks for ways
to loosen em all up
to throw em all away
instead of all up

A mother and father
with a perfect little world
is a hard life to swallow for
a growing girl

if only they could hear now
what she confides in me
they'd excuse her from their table and
set her free 

and put aside
stubborn ways
purge their pride
and controlling days

cuz its not too late
this pain can halt
just say 'We love you'
and 'It wasn't your fault'

A mother and father
they had a perfect little world
and good intentions for
their little girl

but hear my hollar
"This has all got to end"
she's still your daughter
but she's my best friend

so condemm me, I am willing
write me off as dead
if your pride needs a killing well
take me instead

cuz im already gone
at least it feels that way
whenever she's unhappy
well ... whats left to say?

your control can't save her
cuz it only kills
it consumes the braveness
it eats the will

You're a mother and father
but yer perfect little world
is not worth the life of your
grown up girl

there are no perfect mothers
and there are no perfect girls
there are no perfect fathers in
this great big world

so put away
and set aside
that stubborn gaze
give up your pride

give it up
give it up
give it up
give it up

I wont give up
I wont give up
I wont give up
until you give it all up

she's my best friend
so I'm here to stay
until the end
I wont go away

cuz its not too late
this pain can halt
just say 'We love you'
and 'It wasnt' your fault'

then she'll find a way
to loosen it all up
to throw it all away
instead of all up

and like it or not
I'm staying by her side
she'll untie the knots
she carried inside

we'll loosen em up
we wont give up
were all grown up
and we wont give up

so give it up
loosen it up
she's all grown up
so give it up

give it up
give it up
give it up
give it up

give it up
give it up
give it up
give it up

I wont give up
I wont give up
I wont give up
until you give it all up

give it up
give it up
give it up
give it up
