When she was younger,nShe stood staring at the door.nWaiting for the day,nThat she knew would surely come.nnTied bows in her hair.nDressed as she thought you'd like.nBut as time ticked away,nPromises fade one by one.nnAnd now she's all grown.nMade it through on her own.nNow strong enough to see,nYou've been where you want to be.nnNo longer dying inside,nI will not let you define,nEverything that I am,nBy the one thing I don't have,nBecause I'm more than that.nI will not be made to hide,nThese tears wont fall for you this time.nI will not be ashamed of my name,nAnymore.nnSometimes she wonders.nImagines what you're like.nThe emptiness inside,nThat made you miss her life.nThe oceans widen,nWith all your silence.nLeaves her daydreams behind.nChildish fantasies unwind.nnAnd now she knows,nYou're not coming home.nTakes the bows from her hair,nCause she's been waiting twenty years.nnNo longer dying inside,nI will not let you define,nEverything that I am,nBy the one thing I don't have,nBecause I'm more than that.nI will not be made to hide,nThese tears wont fall for you this time.nI will not be ashamed of my name,nAnymore.nnNo longer dying inside,nI will not let you define,nEverything that I am,nBy the one thing I don't have,nBecause I'm more than that.nI will not be made to hide,nThese tears wont fall for you this time.nI will not be ashamed of my name,nAnymore.
