I’ve grown up,
I owned up,
Do you remember me?

I’ve showed up,
And so what,
If I’m the used to be.

I’m here to tell you that I’m sorry,
I was sorry.
But I’m happy that you’re happy
This is no longer about me.

Trade roles,
Switch sides,
For your beautiful eyes.
Let Him be there through your beautiful cries,

Let him hold you up
So you can touch
All four of your skies,

And live your life

Without the pain of good-byes………

Good-Bye.
