She packed her bags and dressed
  Long before the sunrise
  No one knew
  She told them many times
  About how she would teach them
  And now it's time
  Standing quietly by the door
  Her face is numb with fear
  She stops and then goes on
  "Leave forever - it's now or never"
    Quickly walking down the street
  It's cold and grey, dawn's breaking
  She don't mind (she don't mind)
  Why she feels so grown up now
  Her life is just beginning
  She don't know (she don't know)
  She's standing in the pouring rain
  Her make-up's running down
  She wonders now she's here
  "Where will I go? Who do I know?"
    Now, now she's not quite so sure
  I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now
  And they might worry but she doesn't want them to
  Cos causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do
    So she's back in bed before
  Anyone can miss her
  She feels good (she feels good)
  Knowing the chance was there
  Deciding not to take it
  That's her choice (that's her choice)
  She's still awake, her mum comes in
  "Me and dad, we've had a chat
  And we're sorry for the things we said
  Please forgive us - you wouldn't leave us?"
