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
