She Packed Her Bags and Dressed
Long Before Sunrise
No One Knew
She Told Them Many Times
About How She Would Teach Them
And Now It's Time

Standing Quietly By the Door
Her Face Is Numb With Fear
She Stops and Then Goes On
Leave Forever
It's Now Or Never

Quickly Walking Down the Street
It's Cold and Grey, Dawn Breaking
But She Don't Know (She Don't Know)
Why She Feels So Grown Up Now
And Life Is Just Beginning
She Don't Know (She Don't Know)

She's Standing in the Pouring Rain
Her Makeup's Running Down
She Wonders Now She's Here
Where Will I Go?
Who Do I Know?

Now Now She's Not Quite So Sure
I May Be Wrong But Home Seems So Much More Friendly Now
And They May Worry But She Doesn't Want Them To
It's Causing Pain, That's Not the Thing She Set Out to Do

So She's Back in Bed Before
Anyone Can Miss Her
She Feels Good (She Feels Good)
Knowing the Chance Was There
Deciding Not to Take It
That's Her Choice (That's Her Choice)

And She's Still Awake
Her Mom Comes In
Me and Dad We've Had a Chat
And We're Sorry For the Things We Said
Please Forgive Us
You Wouldn't Leave Us....
