People growing apart

Female maturing daster than her male lover and seeing him in a different light. He is holding her back - she wants to move on - so she dumps him.

YOU DON’T KNOW ME NOW.

I’m not the one you knew,
I’ve outgrown your heart, boy.
I’m moving on and up.
You’re not part of me.
Let me go.
It’s time for me to fly.
Follow if you think you can.
But you may have to run,
Just to stay in my shade.

Boy.
That was then and this is now.
I’ve left that little girl behind.
You don’t know me now.
Don’t cry.
People rise and people fall.
Life moves on but not for all.
You don’t know me now.

I’ve found my wings at last,
I’m a butterfly now.
You’re still in your cocoon,
Looking on as I grow.
Look no more,
It’s time for me to fly.
Follow if you think you can.
But you may have to run,
Just to stay in my shade.

Boy.
That was then and this is now.
I’ve left that little girl behind.
You don’t know me now.
Don’t cry.
People rise and people fall.
Life moves on but not for all.
You don’t know me now.

Lovers come and lovers go.
Things have changed and now I know.
That your chains are broken and I’m free now.
Now our time has been and gone,
Now I know your not the one,
For Me.
