Passages

I don't know why we don't get along
I feel like I just don't belong

Why can't you see,
We're different as can be
Why can't you just accept me for me?

We don't look eye to eye
You don't understand me, I don't know why

How can I make you see,
This is all I can be
I just want to be me

Though I love you with all my heart
I feel we're pulling apart

The little girl I used to be
She is only a little part of me
I want to be free

I'm growing up now
To make you see I don't know how

If you would only open your eyes
Your heart would not lie
It's almost time to say good-bye

These tears we need to mend
So things can be better in the end

Instead of saying good-bye
Let's give it one more try
Just you and I

I know we can make this okay
Let's start by trying today
