An idea I got from a song that I heard on House M.D., 'Why Try To Change Me Now?' by Fiona Apple. Really pretty, really wistful.
I watch it go by
Nothing left to hold onto
Went from tricycles to automoblies in minutes
Promised me I'd always be your little girl
When I thought you were super man
And now look where we are
Me, I'm dying
You, not even knowing
Empty pages full of my story
A lost cause
Why try to change me now?
Whirlwind of time
Never steady, never slowing
Breakneck speed
Back when you had all the answers
Booboos gone with a kiss
Not any longer
I'm waiting for an end that'll never come
You're watching me grow like this is how it's supposed to be
The world's behind me
Who knows what's waiting
Why try to change me now?
I don't know who I am anymore
That girl got lost somewhere along the way
She's waving good-bye from somewhere down that road
The door closes and a smile disappears
No one said it'd be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
I've already given up
There's no fight left in me
If this is how it was supposed to end up
Why try to change me now?
