I am seeing my life
In a way I have 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
And each piece of my life
Has 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
'Til 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 light within me
That had started fading
I lost to 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
Tell me who walks away when life's just beginning?
Say hello to the world
That I forgot 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.
Goodbye!
