Story of a wild young woman who changes as life causes remolding, and the one that couldn't embrace the new woman she was forced to become.

Lyrics:

[verse 1]

Carefree and untamed

I first caught your eye

The wild child who just wanted to fly

You did all you could to pin me down

And as love swept in, I came around

Time heals wounds, but changes our stories

As life and family brought on new worries

[chorus]

We started off strong

Little tied us down

I loved that life too

Til’ I had to come around

I took on alone

Life’s responsibilities

And found you loved what used to be

More than me

[verse 2]

As you climbed the ladder

I took care of the rest

The bills, the house, the kids, I tried to do my best

I had to change from the girl I’d been

To mother they needed, what you hadn’t seen

You needed to know me, as I started to change

Embrace this new woman, who felt trapped in a cage

[chorus]

We started off strong

Little tied us down

I loved that life too

Til’ I had to come around

I took on alone

Life’s responsibilities

And found you loved what used to be

More than me

[verse 3]

The kids grew up quick

But you weren’t around

I took them to recitals, while you ran around town

I needed a partner who understood the new me

Who sometimes wanted to fly, wanted to be free

Time heals wounds, but shifts our direction

While the woman I became still longed for affection

[guitar solo]

[bridge]

You still want something that you helped disappear

So I hope that this letter makes everything clear

[chorus]

We started off strong

Little tied us down

I loved that life too

Til’ I had to come around

I took on alone

Life’s responsibilities

And found you loved what used to be

More than me
