Lilac Room

Thank you lilac 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 friends, my tears,
My loves and lost encased within your walls

A little girl grew up in here,
But she's far too grown up to live here anymore.

If I'm honest, my posters won hands down,
I even miss my lilac rug and dressing gown.
Flower stickers, books and toys,
cringey notes to year 6 boys,
now a can of paint is sitting 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 the 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.
