You’re the one who found me, you created me
You put me in your shoes, got me ready to go ¹
You showed me the way and I ran, under your direction and holding your hand
Now I can’t go on – the shoes are too small for me
I’ve grown out of them – from now on I’ll go it alone ²
The last smile that I give you
Sets me free because I know it’s over
I’m tellin’ you
I welcome you into my world
I’ll rewrite the story
The curtain falls
I welcome you, step inside
No matter what comes
You can count me in, you can count us in
And count yourself in, in, in, in…
What is your standard, what’s normal for you?
Do I belong if I say it doesn’t matter?
Should I bend down, should
I jump up – I did it with a laugh
But the day has come on which I say
I welcome you into my world
I’ll rewrite this story
The curtain falls
I welcome you, step inside
No matter what comes
You can count me in
Did you ever think,
Did you know that I could do it
Without you
Without you
Did you ever think, did you know
That I could do it without you
Without you
You didn’t know that I would let you go and
I can go on without you too (just watch me)
You didn’t know that I would let you go
From now on I’m going solo
I welcome you into my world
I’ll rewrite the story
The curtain falls
I welcome you, step inside
No matter what comes
You can count me in, you can count us in
And count yourself in, in, in, in…
