| 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 |
