When I was a child, I liked dancing When I was a child, I liked drowning When I was a child, I could love everything When I was a child, I knew that you Were always besides me Everything was free Everything was new I couldn’t wait for tomorrow But let me go papa But let me go mama My voice will become wings To a place I’ve only dreamed of But let me go papa But let me go mama It’s better to burn out Than it is to cry on oh babe Now I became a woman, I hate dreaming Now I became a woman, I hate dedicating Now I became a woman, I can’t love anything Now I became a woman, I know that you Are not always besides me I want something free I want something new I wish tomorrow never came I miss you papa I miss you mama I can choose my own way To a place I’ve only dreamed of I miss you papa I miss you mama I decided to leave you To spread my wings oh babe But let me go papa But let me go mama My voice will become wings To a place I’ve only dreamed of But let me go papa But let me go mama It’s better to burn out Than it is to cry on oh babe
