Dear Inner Child Lyrics
Someone kissed my closing eyelids
And I made it mean more that it did
And someone put a plate down a little too loud
Now I still flinch whenever I hear the sound
As I’m getting older
I learned my mama was just trying her best
And not that I owe her forgiveness
But I’m sorry to that girl in a dress
So if you wanna wear pink, I’ll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance, then I’ll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing, then consider it sung
I’m sorry you had to grow up this young
Forget that love is earned ’cause it’s always deserved
I know you had to work just to show them your worth
Remember that a plate is nothing but a plate
Even if it breaks we can throw it away
As I’m getting older
I learned that I was only trying my best
And I think I owe her a deep breath
She was the strongest little girl in a dress
So if you wanna wear pink I’ll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance then I’ll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing then consider it sung
I’m sorry you had to grow up this young
You were the strongest little fighter that carried me here
And I know that you’re tired from surviving in fear
So lay down, close your eyes
Cause now I got us for the rest of our life
So if I wanna wear pink I’ll wear it for me
And if I wanna dance then I’ll lift up on my feet
And I just wanna sing at the top of my lungs
Thanks for being there growing up so young
