City Of Light

Lily was a girl who's heart was broken
By a man who told her lies to her blue eyes
She packed up and moved to Paris
Hoping to begin a brand new life in the City of Light

Long ago she heard someone say
Love was just a silly game we play to pass the day
Now she wonders endlessly
How much of that was true and if that's why she ran away

It is nothing to me
And it doesn't matter

Lily went on living but each
Day turned out to be more of a strain just to remain
Paris was a wonder in itself
But never really pushed the pain further away

Lily came back home to find
No celebration or welcome home parade, but that was ok
Lily managed to move on again
And finally believed herself when she would say

That it is nothing to me
And it doesn't matter
