the smell of your skin lingers on me now
you're probably on your flight
back to your hometown
i need some shelter of my own protection
to be with myself and center
clarity, peace, serenity
i hope you know
that this has nothing to do with you
it's personal, myself and i
we've got some straightening out to do
and i'm gonna miss you
like a child misses their blanket
but i've got to get a move on with my life
it's time to be a big girl now
and big girls don't cry
the path that i'm walking
i must go alone
i must take the baby steps until i'm full grown
fairytales don't always have a happy ending,
do they?
and i foresee the dark ahead if i stay
like the little school mate in the school yard
we'll play jacks and uno cards
i'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'cos i want to hold yours too
we'll be playmates and lovers
and share our secret worlds
but it's time for me to go home
it's getting late, dark outside
i need to be with myself and center
clarity, peace, serenity.
i'm so far from home,
so far from you,
and i'm gonna grow stronger here.
i need to be with myself to sort things out
and then i've got to move on with my life.
there's only so much we can share now
and maybe it's for the best.
but even if it's not, i'm a big girl now,
and big girls don't cry.
i'm stronger like this;
i belong to me
and i don't need anyone to complete me.
keep me strong god, please...
