Letter To My 13 Year Old Self

Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair

Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere

♪

Voices echo in the gym

Another girl's had her first kiss

Please, don't think too much of it, darling

I'm so sorry that they pick you last

♪

Try to say your foreign name and laugh

♪

I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd

Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare

But, baby, know that

You'll grow up

And grow so tough and charm them

Write your story, fall in love a little too

The things you thought you'd never do

I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze

Myself at 13

And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

♪

Keep on going with your silly dream

Life is prettier than it may seem

♪

One day, you'll be up on stage

Little girls will scream your name

The days of tears and failure fears

And no one cares, will all make sense, 'cause

You'll grow up

And grow so confident, and

Write your story, fall in love a little too

The things you thought you'd never do

I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze

Myself at 13

And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

♪

Ooh-ooh
