Dear Little Me

Where do we even start? Where to begin?
Feels like we're really far from where we've been
Gone through the light and dark, still call your friends, uh
Never ends
Ended up losing touch at 17
I know, it's not your fault we didn't speak
You know you always got a place for me, uh

I can't wait to tell you, I stopped straightenin' my hair
I still don't look like my friends
But I don't really care
Eventually, it got out
Not to pinch my skin
Until I finally realized
That I'm my own best friend

Dear little me (ooh-ooh)
Dear little me

When did I close my eyes and let you go?
Chasin' them butterflies, I didn't know
It's hard to reach the sky, it's hard to hold
Oh-ooh, uh
Probably should mention your room, looks the same
It's a different sound when dad calls your name
You deserve love even without the fame
Oh-ooh, uh

I can't wait to tell you, I stopped straightening my hair
I still don't look like my friends
But I don't really care
I recently stopped wishing
That I'd wake up thin
It's 'cause I finally realized
That I'm my own best friend

Dear little me
I know we're not the same
But don't be afraid of change
Dear little me
When life carries me away
You're my safe space, always
Dear little me

You're so, you're so (you're so-)
Beautiful
Dear little me
You're so, you're so
Damn beautiful (you're so beautiful)
Dear little me

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
Dear little me
Mm-mm, mhm
