Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Shoebox photos in a line Crooked smiles Grass-stained time Frozen birthdays Paper crowns Younger me You never learned to doubt You had questions Never shame Spoke in crayons Wrote your name On the world like it was yours Before you locked your heart behind a door [Chorus] I wanna go back to little me Before I learned I wasn’t easy to love Hold her hand and let her see She was always more than good enough If I could turn back every clock I see I’d learn to love me Like I loved me Back when I was three [Verse 2] Kitchen light on Sunday nights Cartoons loud Pajamas tight Fell asleep mid-story half the time Didn’t care if every line would rhyme Now I count the things I lack Replay words I can’t take back But in those days I never kept the score I just ran to knock on every door [Chorus] [Bridge] One day I’ll meet that girl again In the mirror As a friend Tell her every broken piece is gold Every secret she was scared to show I’ll be softer when I speak my name Drop the weight Lose the blame I’ll become the person she believed I’d be Patient Kind More loveable To me [Chorus]
