I am seeing my life,
In a way I had not.
Awake through your eyes,
I see all I forgot.
You created a home filled with love and respect,
I abused it at times, made it hard to connect.
In each piece of my life,
There's been proof of regret,
And the things I can't change,
I don't want to forget.
But say goodbye to the girl who was scared to let go,
But 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 the 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 light within me,
But then it started fading.
I lost the someone I had always dreamed I'd be.
I need to stop pretending,
That 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 a world that I forgot was there,
Was a prisinor 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,
Goodbye.
