I had to prove that I could make it alone
|
But that's not me
|
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
|
But that's not me
|
|
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
|
What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl
|
|
I'm a little bit scared
|
Cause I haven't been home in a long time
|
You needed my love
|
And I know that I left at the wrong time
|
My folks when I wrote them
|
Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me
|
|
I went through all kinds of changes
|
Took a look at myself and said that's not me
|
I miss my pad and the places I've known
|
And every night as I lay there alone I will dream
|
|
I once had a dream
|
So I packed up and split for the city
|
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
|
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready
|
|
I once had a dream
|
So I packed up and split for the city
|
