little room

Dodie Clark

Thank you little room, you've served me well
I'm sorry for all the nail polish and tea I've spilled
You've seen my secrets
my fears, my best friend, my tears
My loved and lost encased inside these walls
A little girl grew up in here
She's far too grown up to live here any more

If I'm honest, the bunk bed won hands down
I even miss the fuchsia floor and dressing gown
Flower stickers, books and toys
cringey notes to year 6 boys
Now a tenancy agreement's on the floor
A little girl grew up in here
She's far too grown up to live here anymore

So here we are, the final goodbye
I've got to leave the nest but I'm not sure how to fly
Thank you room, you'll always be my warmest place
a home to me
Turn off the lights and finally close the door
A little girl grew up in here
She's far too grown up to live here anymore
