When she was younger

Stood standing at the door

Waiting for the day

That she knew would surely come

Tied bows in her hair

Dressed as she thought you'd like

But as time ticked away

Promises fade one by one

And now she's all grown

Made it through on her own

Now strong enough to see

You've been where you want to be



Chorus: No longer dying inside

I will not let you define 

Everything I am

By one thing that I don't have

Cause I'm more than that

I will not be made to hide

There tears won't fall for you this time

I will not be ashamed of my name anymore



Sometimes she wonders

Imagines what you're like 

The emptiness inside

That made you miss her life

The oceans widen

With all your silence

Leaves her day dreams behind

Childish fantisies unwind

And now she knows 

You're not coming home

Takes the bows from her hair

Cause she's been waiting twenty years



Chorus...



Anymore, anymore
