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
