on a cold day in september
she was born into this world
with a smile on her face
and a whole life ahead of her

i swear i'll never forget you

and now i don't want to grow up
and now i don't wanna grow up alone

she reads just like a book at the age of thirteen
and then by fourteen, the pages are torn
sweet sixteen then just means long diary entries
and at eighteen she's on her own

i swear i'll never forget you

and now i don't want to grow up
and now i don't wanna grow up alone

she's scared to live
and she's scared to breath
it feels as if she's choking
on oxyegn from her lungs

and now i don't want to grow up
and now i don't wanna grow up alone

and thats when i said, i'm here for you
and thats when i said, i'm here for you

...and thats when i said, i'm here for you
and thats when i said, i'm here for you
and thats when i said, i'm here for you
and thats where i signed goodbye too
