The little girl
You're looking for is no longer here
She's out of reach, out of sight
And slowly disappears into the dark
And empty night where we used to lay
So while you sleep, I'm whispering goodnight
'Cause nothing's the same forever
I wish I could change for you
Go on
(And)
Leave me while you still can
Go on without me
You must understand
That's who I am
So goodnight, my love
And now, you're on your own
The little girl who used to say
I'll always be here
Has changed her mind or woken up
From her endless dreaming
In that dark and empty place
Where we always go
But when today is yesterday
We'll know
That nothing's the same forever
I wish I could change for you
Go on
(And)
Leave me while you still can
Go on without me
You must understand
That's who I am
So goodnight, my love
I hope you'll feel better
And maybe one day you will see
That we're alone together
Oh baby, don't become like me
Go on
(And)
Leave me while you still can
Go on without me
You must understand
That's who I am
So goodnight, my love
And now, you're on your own
Now, you're on your own
