Say Goodbye

i am seeing my life in a way i had not
awake through your eyes in a way i forgot
you created a home filled with love and respect
i abused it at times, made it hard to connect
and each piece of my life has been proof of threat
and the things i can’t change i don’t want to forget
say goodbye to the girl who was scared to let go not who’s yearning to see life outside the unknown
i am destined to prove i am ready to fly
show me how to say goodbye
to the old…
i made work my life, wouldn’t settle for less
always fought hard to prove that i’d be the best
i closed down my heart, love could not come inside
that’s the moment i felt the old me start to die
a career on the rise, no one else to protect
i started shedding my skin till there was none of me left
say farewell to that girl who’s forgotten her pride
say hello to the girl who is rising inside
she won’t hold back my life, can’t sit here and repent
show me how to say goodbye…
there was a life within me, but then it started fading
i lost the someone i had always dreamed i’d be i need to stop pretending
but i can’t change my ending
you’d never let my spirit die this way
who says goodbye when life’s just beginning?
say hello to the world that i thought that was there
was a prisoner inside now i’m breathing the air
yesterday’s old cocoon will hatch a new butterfly
show me how to say goodbye
to the old…
and welcome the new
