We grew so fast
and I was not deserving of your dreams
and of your trust.
If we saw my flaws, I'd be crushed.
I'd hoped that I could sweep them
with the dust under the rug
among the plans I'd made
before that street broke off.
Before I was in love.
I wave goodbye.
I know what His kiss tastes like
so I'm trying to picture you.
Times I go back
and it's no wonder I couldn't leave
without a scratch.
Mistakes don't sleep in the past.
I thought that I could run away
and build a life without a fight
among another child,
dressed in off white,
but now I know I wasn't right.
Keep growing,
keep growing away.
"And I'm trying for you."
