歌曲歌詞
英文
Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Your probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself instead of calamity
Peace Serenity
I hope you know I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal Myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal Myself and I
