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 and 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've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got 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 till I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forsake 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've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to 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 schoolmate in the schoolyard
We'll play Jackson 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 you 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, it's dark outside
I need to be with myself and 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've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
