No one grows in someone
else's shadow.
Need your space.
Your place in the sun.
But learning to be your own
best friend
takes time.
And you've just begun.
Just because something's good
Don't tell yourself that'll make it right
I'll let the good sense of day
Give way to the madness
of these night s
I'm the one who thought
she had the answers
In control and knowing it all
But setting your sights too high
on someone else
That's when you fall
I could make an art of
self -deception
Love's a game to someone like him
As so many women do
I played along
Getting the right thing wrong
Just because something's good
You tell yourself that'll make it right
I let the good sense of day
Give way to the madness of his night
Sadder and wiser now
He certainly opened up my eyes
But even when you know the truth
This doesn't stop you long
ing for the light
No one grows in someone else's shadow
Need your space, your place in the sun
But learning to be your own best friend
Takes time, and I've just begun
And I tell you I feel so bad right now,
but I'll recover
Being hurt is being alive
But I can survive, I'm strong
I won't go on
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
