A song about the forces that comes to bear on young love (sounds like a first love), the decision to break up to develop into a big girl (that doesn't cry) of the world, to take that personal journey; "I must go alone, I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown".
She explains to her love that he is not to blame, it's not his fault; "I hope you know, I hope you know, That this has nothing to do with you". "And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket" because the love remains, it's about outside forces which can't be ignored.
The journey is necessary to avoid the hurt of a sweet love becoming destroyed; "Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they, And I forsee the dark ahead if I stay".
PS. (for Shirley) But if you are really lucky, the prize is that you get to find that person again after resolution, and feel the value of the rarest thing... perfect love.
