I had to prove that I could make it alone
But thats not me
I wanted to show how independent Id grown now
But thats 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

Im a little bit scared
Cause I havent 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 thats not me

I went through all kinds of changes
Took a look at myself and said thats not me
I miss my pad and the places Ive 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 wasnt so pretty
Im glad I went now Im that much more sure that were ready

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasnt so pretty

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasnt so pretty
