Matilda

You were riding your bike
To the sound of it's no big deal
And you're trying to lift off
The ground on those old two wheels
Nothing 'bout the way that
You were treated ever seemed
Especially alarming till now
So you tie up your hair and
You smile like it's no big deal
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
And not invite your family
'Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
Matilda you talk of the pain
Like it's all alright
But I know that you feel
Like a piece of you's dead inside
You showed me a power that is strong enough
To bring sun to the darkest days
It's none of my business but
It's just been on my mind
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
And not invite your family
'Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
You can see the world
Following the seasons
Anywhere you go
You don't need a reason
'Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own
You're just in time make your tea and your toast
You framed all your posters and dyed your clothes
You don't have to go
You don't have to go home
Oh there's a long way back home
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
You can start a family who will always show you love
You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
You can start a family who will always show you love
You don't have to be sorry no
