This process isn't easy, it only gets harder
I wish it would end or just happen to another
But it's something you will go through as a part of life
You have to make progress. You have to strive.
Accept the changes that are going to happen
Just open your wings and start flapping
Enjoy the experiences as they come along
Sing to the tune of your own song
Realize that nothing is ever perfect
This just takes sometime but it will all be worth it

You try to make me believe that you can give me the world
But all I wanted from you was to be your little girl
All I needed was your love and care
Not the dolls, dresses, and teddy bears
Only wishing that you could be there for me
At my graduation, reunions, and ceremonies
Instead you gave me materialistic things
Making me believe that that's what love is
But now I'm older and I clearly know
You gave me those things so that you wouldn't have to go
It doesn't replace the moments you missed
It’s just a reminder on how you broke your promises

What I feel I can't explain.
You were my friend but then it changed
You kissed me once from there I knew;
you cared about me like I cared about you.
I may sound stupid because I’m not ready,
to make this real and become steady.
But I’ll enjoy my time with what we do
because with this it means that I'm with you
What you bring to me is positivity
by the laughs and smiles you create on me
Don’t ever change who you’ve become,
the past is what made you come along
Into my vision only to realize,
that life eventually leads you to what you’ve fantasized.

What is this I'm feeling? I don’t want to catch this first.
I like you at your best but will I put up with you at your worst?
So many questions keep running through my mind
While the answers don't come out they just play and hide
All my emotions keep spinning because I want to take it slow
But then I get caught up thinking about you and I just want to know
Will I one day become yours? Will you one day become mine?
Or is this going to end soon? Will it be a waste of time?
I’ve given you a part of me, part of who I really am
But I just stop and wonder will you be my man
Please don’t make me think you only used me for your pleasure
Because I know I gave you something more than that.
I gave you memories to treasure

It’s time for me to focus on myself, realize my own values, and gain my own wealth
I need to be learn how to be independent, without worrying to hurt you just defending
Defending myself so you know what I’m about, taking risks, having adventures and figuring me out
Realizing my interests and what I want to do, discovering my dislikes and what I hate too
Because life isn't perfect so you can't always settle,
I want to win, earn the best, get that first place metal.
But I can't do that with you weighing me down; I am leaving on a search to look for my own crown.

Iv'e seen the tears forming in your eyes
Iv'e seen you aging as you cry
You're stuck in a moment of the past
You keep replaying it to make it last
Depressing yourself each and everyday
Not noticing that better things can come your way
It’s time to leave what you had behind
Stop thinking of the memories go out and find
Find that happiness is within your reach
Definitely worth looking for, it’s something to keep

You made it seem like it was all real
As if you truly loved me
that's what you wanted me to feel,
But when I looked into your eyes
I saw some anger, secrets, even saw the lies.
I ignored all of it because I wanted you,
My heart was uncontrollable
It told me this love was true.
After all the memories we were creating
I had to erase them
Because this love was fading
Your lies were discovered, it didn't feel new
You lied from the beginning
Now I know what I must do
I'll let go of the memories that we once had
forget our future together
and forget our past
I'll move forward without you because there's more to discover
I'll create new stories,
Have mysteries to uncover.
My life won't end once you are gone
It's only getting started because
We are done.

The past is something you leave behind,
Although it led you here,
To become mine.
I'm glad you came along the way.
It may have been soon
but that's just fate.
But now I question if you are ready,
because if you aren't,
things could turn deadly.
It seems as if you can't let go
Of the pain you suffered.
Believe me, I know.
It's hard to get over the memories you had.
You bring them up
& it gets me mad.
I guess you forget I have a past too
But I left them behind.
Once I met *You
