Change In Me

Now that all the tears are dried and gone

Now that my heart has left me empty and alone

I will go forward in my life and never look back 

New school,new life,throw away the notes in my backpack

Time to get rid of the hurt,time to ease the pain

It's time to fill my emptiness and stop being insane

Time to push her her out of my mind and out of my soul

It's time to drop all my feelings so I can soar and grow

I thought that I would die without her, now I laugh

because I'm still standing with my head up and I'm glad

I'm glad that I can still smile with my mouth and with my eyes

The fact that I can face tomorrow with truth and not disguise

who I am, who I'm gonna be, and who I fear

I can walk the streets with my spirits high,without a single tear

Even when the nightmares that creep in the night

surround me to torment me,I'll never lose sight

Of how special I am and keep my mind clear

Even though I am STILL burning from the flames I wear
