When she was younger
Stood staring at the door
Waiting for the day
That she knew would surely comeTied bows in her hair
Dressed as she thought you'd like
But as time ticked away
Promises fade one by oneAnd now she's all grown
Made it through on her own
Now strong enough to see
That you've been where you wanna beNo 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 thatI will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name anymoreSometimes she wonders
Imagines what you're like
The emptiness inside
That made you miss her lifeThe ocean's widen
With all your silence
Leaves the daydreams behind
Childish fantasies unwindAnd now she knows
You're not coming home
Take the bows from her hair
She's been waiting twenty yearsNo 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 thatI will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name anymoreNo 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 thatI will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed
Of my name anymoreI will not, I will not
I will not, anymore
Anymore, anymore
I will not, anymore
