Lyrics

When I was a little girl
I wanted to be pretty
I wanted to be popular
I didn't have a hope in hell
When I was a little girl
My mother told me I
Could be anything I liked
My mother lied
When I was a little girl
I didn't have hope in hell
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a hope in hell
Dear five year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
You're gonna be just fine
I wish I could help you to see
Twelve year old me
I know there are people
Who are making you feel like you're not pretty enough
I know one day you will say
"Who gives a f*ck?"
I promise you won't give a
I promise you won't give a
When I was a little girl
I always felt ashamed
I needed to be pretty
Pretty was the best thing
When I was a little girl
And I didn't have a hope in hell
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a hope in hell
Dear nine year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
You're gonna be just fine
I wish I could help you to see
Twelve year old me
I know there are people
Who are making you feel like you're not pretty enough
I promise you one day you will say
"I'm so sorry little girl"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm so sorry little girl"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm gonna make it up to you"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"If it's the last thing I do"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm sorry little girl"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much to unlearn"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much under the surface"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much buried there to hurt us"
Dear twelve year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
