[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
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 would dream
[Chorus 2]
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
[Coda]
(repeat to fade)
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
