on a cold day in september

she was born into this world

with a smile on her face

and a whole life ahead of her


i swear i'll never forget you


and now i don't want to grow up

and now i don't wanna grow up alone


she reads just like a book at the age of thirteen

and then by fourteen, the pages are torn

sweet sixteen then just means long diary entries

and at eighteen she's on her own


i swear i'll never forget you


and now i don't want to grow up

and now i don't wanna grow up alone


she's scared to live

and she's scared to breath

it feels as if she's choking

on oxyegn from her lungs


and now i don't want to grow up

and now i don't wanna grow up alone


and thats when i said, i'm here for you

and thats when i said, i'm here for you


...and thats when i said, i'm here for you

and thats when i said, i'm here for you

and thats when i said, i'm here for you

and thats where i signed goodbye too
