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
