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
I soon found out that my lonely life
wasn't so pretty
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
