Fourteen Years Ago | Joanna Rose Alsa

Fourteen years ago…

I’m the childish girl you knew

I’ve done so many mistakes

But I’ve learned from all of it.

No dolls… no toys I held so tight

No crying in the middle of the night

No parents when I was sleeping and dreaming

Because now that’s a memory I’m keeping.

Fourteen years ago…

I’m the foolish girl you knew

But now I’m already grown up

You can do nothing to make it stop.

I want you to see the change in me

I want you to face the reality

You can never tell me lies

I can tell by the look into your eyes.

Fourteen years ago…

I was the innocent girl you knew

You took advantage of that

And then you broke my heart.

Can’t you see the change in me?

From head to toe I am free

Free to live, free to love

Free to fly like a dove.

The flowers blooms in the day

Do you see your girl becoming a lady?

What you see is not your girl that is gone

But the lady owned by someone.

Fourteen years ago is gone

Too much change is already done

Fourteen years ago, I can’t let you go

But now I can paddle my own canoe.
