Tired of hurt, only 10 All she wants is to fit in
Only worse, older she gets, just 14 And every time she tried to open up
They tore it down Didn't think she'd ever be enough someday
I hope when she gets older She holds on to her dreams
Cause the pain don't last forever, oh I know If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud She would be so proud
Heavy heart, tears stained sheets Chased a dream, only 16
Left her out, called her names Never changed, but
Every time she reached up for the stars They pulled her down
Made her doubt she'd ever get so far Just wait
I hope when she gets older She holds on to her dreams
Cause the pain don't last forever, oh I know If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud She would be so proud
She would be so proud
Oh, now that I am older
And living out my dreams Oh, the pain was worth it in the end somehow
If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud She would be so proud
She would be so proud
