I’ve always wanted a life like other people seem to have

I’ve always noticed things that you maybe don’t understand

I always showed them most of me, hoping they would care

I never wanted to be like this

But this is who I am

Now I’m growing up

Now I can truly choose for myself

I feel sorry for what I’ve done

When you came for us, in my arms

You should know me — I’ve always run

And I hope you stay

I hope you stay

I hope

I feel like I’m almost tired of proving my worth, even to my friends

But I never stop thanking you for all the things you taught me

I’ve finally learned to be alone

But I’ve got to tell you:

I stopped dreaming without you
