These Four Walls

I've existed between these four walls
    for as long I can remember
Nothing will be the same after 
I grew to be the woman that I am
      Between these four walls
I faced so many obstacles 
  I saw his smile for the last time
         Between these four walls
    I cried a million tears 
 and I looked out the window
 praying that one day things would
   get better and they did 
   Between these four walls
         It's who I am 
    I learned how to stop 
       being scared 
    between these four falls
   They know all my secrets
 and they were my best friend 
 before real friendships existed
    Between these four walls
 The place that I will always remember
   Now I have to move on with my life
     Erase these old memories 
  and add new ones in a new house
       It makes me sad 
     Cause all I've ever known
     is between these four walls
