'What happened to her?'They ask. 'It was all a blur.' He answers.
She grew up. That's What Happened. She's no longer a cub. And that Hurts.
Makeup covering my face
Adult clothes presented as gifts in shiny black trash bags
Smelling of smoke and sickly sweat
Watching my mother oh so carefully
When I think about when the first time I realized I wasnt a kid anymore,
I'd have to think back to the moment I first had to think about my future.
Getting out of junior high, I was forced to peer into my future to see what
When I was younger I use to think that something was wrong with my skin,I would shower 4 times a day,Scrubbing extra hard and using extra soap thinking that some dirt would come off,
He was there in the beginning, they say
He's always been there, will always be there
Those who have met him
Often seem to cling on
Afraid to let go
Scared of what they’ll see
we were kids, kids in love
no cares in the world, it was just us.
Us against the world you would say
but I had to grow up.
Still my thoughts of you come late at night.
we were kids, kids in love

Growing up hasn't been easy The journey has been tough These last four years have been busy The road has been rough There were days full of tears There were days full of laughter There were days full of glory And days full of disaster Like a road
There once was a wee little thing
Who wondered what life would bring
Well it brought her thrills
And it brought her bills
And best of all it brought her knowing!
