Let me stand up here on my own
Let me show you, how much I’ve grown
Let me make you proud, of who I am
Not a little boy anymore, I’m a man

Take a look at me, I’m so wise
You knew I’d be great, no big surprise
I became what you, told me to be
Not a little boy anymore, look at me

Take a better look at who I became
You’ll see I’m not longer the same
I’ve grown a little older, a little wiser, a bigger man
I’ll be the same in your eyes, until you see what I am

Let me grow more today, like I have done
No longer do I tolerate, no longer do I run
I faced my fears, to let you know I still care
Sitting in the darkness, I still can’t leave you here

I can’t just walk away, like I do all the time
I can’t slip away, you’ll always be mine
Look at me now, not what I used to be
I’ve grown, I’ve changed, but I’m still me

Please realize, that I never blamed you
You did what was right, you did what you knew
And I never meant to leave you
I never once said I didn’t care

Take a better look, at who I became
You’ll see, I’m no longer the same
I’ve grown a little older, a little wiser, a bigger man
I’ll be the same in your eyes, until you see what I am

I never once said, you meant nothing to me
I’ve just changed so much, I just want you to see
I grew up so much, in these last few years
But one things remains, I still cry yours tears

Just look at me please, see me now
Here in the darkness, shine down on my somehow
Fill me with love, like you used to do
Please tell me I’m okay, cause I never knew

I can say the words, till I’m blue in the face
I can beg for another, but you can’t be replaced
I can hold you so high, I can tell you I’m fine
But your memories, still infect my mind

So I leave you tonight, with a teary good-bye
I ask you again, I cry out why?
It may fade away, but I still feel it inside
I still feel it hurt, like the day you died.
