Letter To The Little Girl In Me

(Verse 1)

Dear little girl, I know you’re tired

Carrying pain that never expired

You cried for help, nobody came

Now you grew up carrying all that shame

You told your truth, they turned away

So you learned to hide your hurt every day

Smiling outside, broken within

Fighting battles nobody could see you in

(Pre-Chorus)

And every memory still cuts so deep

The bad ones never let you sleep

But baby, listen close tonight

You survived what tried to steal your light

(Chorus)

I’m sorry for the pain you had to feel

Sorry they made your wounds seem unreal

But you know the truth, and that’s enough

Even when this life got hard and rough

It’s time to let go, time to heal

Time to believe your heart is still real

I forgive myself, I forgive them too

For every scar they left on you

And even when we don’t love what we see

Deep down, I still love me

And God still does too

So I’m learning how to love me through

(Verse 2)

There were nights we ain’t wanna stay

Tears falling while we prayed away

Thinking maybe if we disappeared

The hurt would finally leave from here

But somehow grace kept pulling through

A purpose bigger than what we knew

Cause somebody out there needs our voice

Needs our story to make a choice

(Pre-Chorus)

To keep fighting another day

To believe the pain won’t always stay

Cause healing slowly starts to grow

The moment you decide to let go

(Chorus)

I’m sorry for the pain you had to feel

Sorry they made your wounds seem unreal

But you know the truth, and that’s enough

Even when this life got hard and rough

It’s time to let go, time to heal

Time to believe your heart is still real

I forgive myself, I forgive them too

For every scar they left on you

And even when we don’t love what we see

Deep down, I still love me

And God still does too

So I’m learning how to love me through

(Bridge)

No more blaming the little girl inside

No more running, no more trying to hide

She deserved love the whole damn time

Even with the hurt she carried inside

Now we choosing peace over pain

Sunshine after all this rain

And every broken piece of me

Is finally becoming free

(Final Chorus / Outro)

I survived every storm I faced

Even when darkness filled my space

And now I know what I’m here to do

Help somebody else make it through

So little girl, wipe your eyes

Your healing’s here, your soul survived

And after everything we’ve been through

I’m finally learning to love you too.
