The Distance Between - ASCAP

When I was a girl I had a dream
About the kind of woman I'd grow up to be
I wanted to change the world
I wanted to love someone
I found out both those things are easier said than done

Its funny how the time goes by
and its funny how you never win the game you never try
and even when you try
there ain't no easy way
to rise above the past that brought you here today

Chorus
I've got a head full of dreams
I don't want to forget
I'm always on my way
but I'm never quite there yet
and I'm tired of seeing the distance
between the woman in my mirror
and the woman I wanna be

I guess I've always know wrong from right
I see them both clear as day when I turn out the lights
so why are they so far away
in the morning when I rise
to live out another wasted day and another compromise

Chorus

Bridge
Why is it so hard for me to do what I know is right
Why does everyday bring one more demon that I have to fight

It'd sure be nice to finally make a change
I guess only time will tell if I've got what it takes
but even if I don't
I'll try it anyway
to rise above the past that brought me here today

Chorus repeat twice
I've got a head full of dreams
I don't want to forget
I know what I need to do
I just haven't done it yet
but I'm crossing the distance between
the woman in my mirror
and the woman I want to be
