From girl to lady
A simple change in letters
How can i possibly be that person
That i was in those pictures
Look at me
Don't you understand
I can't be that child again
I can't be that girl that once held your hand
Everything you loved
That was all so ripe
Had to one day go rotten
And eventually be forgotten
It's not that i don't love you or that i don't care
But it's not the same as it used to be
This road wasn't supposed to stay easy
These bumps were supposed to happen and meant to be seen
Hold me down forever
And protect me with all your might
But i'm not staying here much longer
There's a world out there and i need to be prepared to fight
I'm making mistakes every day
And I've even become someone i'm not sure i like
But this is my battle to figure out
And i promise i will get it right
But i can honestly say that it's time to let go
It's time that you open your fatherly eyes and let me do what i need to do
I'm almost completely grown and have my own set of wings
Just take your grip and let loose so i can be free
I'm never going to be that little girl of yours again
And as much as it hurts me to speak those words
It's the truth and we both know it
But dad just remember..
The ending of one chapter, is always the beginning of another.
