September

It was September
A golden evening light
I was walking to your meeting, wondering
What was waiting that night
Was it destiny calling
Or just another road
I didn't know that night
You'd see behind my eyes
With you.
I dropped my armor
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the softer side of me
The girl
I'd never let them see
September
You know me
You knew the girl inside
The one who laughed so freely
And singing
The one
I used to hide
September you saw me without my
Walls, without disguise
You were the only one who knew me.
The only one who saw my eyes
To everyone.
I was the strong one, the woman made of steel
I knew how to hide my feelings.
I knew
What not to reveal
But with you, I was a little girl
Softhearted, wild and free
I laughed until
I couldn't breathe.
You
Brought that girl back to me
You knew the girl beneath it all.
The one
I never show
You knew the secret side of me
That nobody else could know.
September
You knew me
You knew the girl inside
The one who laughs so freely
The one
I used to hide
September
You saw me without my walls, without disguise
You were the only one who knew me.
The only one who saw my eyes
For and then our story ended and we
Went our separate ways but
I won't forget that girl, the one
You helped me find
September.
You knew me.
But now
I know me too.
The girl you saw beside you.
The girl
I show to you
September
I'm ready for a love that's meant to stay if
I could love you deeply, I can love
Again someday
September, you were not the ending
You were just the turning page.
You gave
Me back [screaming] the girl
I was.
So
Now she's not afraid
