Da da da da

The smell of your skin
Lingers on me now
You're probably
On your flight
Back to your hometown
I need some shelter
Of my own protection baby
Be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know
I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you
Like a child
Misses their blanket
But I've gotta
To get a move
On with my life
It's time to be
A big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps
'Til I'm full grown
Full grown
Fairy tales don't always
Have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee
The dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know
I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening
Out to do
And I'm gonna miss you
Like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta
Get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like a little school mate
In the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend
And you'll be my valentine
Yes, you can hold my hand
If you want to
'Cause I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds
But it's time for me
To go home
It's getting late
Dark outside
I need to be
With myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know
I hope you know
That this
Has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got
Some straightening
Out to do
And I'm gonna miss you
Like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta
To get a move
On with my life
It's time to be
A big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
