Heroine
To thine own self be true, who knew time would blow away so quickly
I watch myself whine I don't shine no more but i still soar above the clouds
and make my mama proud
And I'll stand out in the crowd
and say no words of how I got here because, I come not to show what I did, but discover every other dream and beam I see from the moon and soon be home to you
Every penny and nickle and dime
stands no more for we are let out in the sun too long
No more sad songs
No more sad songs of you and I
No more cries and lies
At least I tried
