Time Will Tell

I'm getting older

Thinking of my eight year old self

And what I would've told her

About the things she should let go of while she can

Before she has to stand

In front of a world that doesn't know her

That can't see her flaws until she points them out first

That can't tell her who she has to be

Cause she knows herself

Her friendships are her wealth

And all is good and well

She breaks out of her shell

You tried your best

Forget the rest

Who told you that

You should detest

Yourself

I'm trying my best

But oh

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

I should probably tell her

That the boy she's had a crush on's gonna like her back

But only when it's too late for her to see him again

So she's gonna move to a new place and make new friends

But they're gonna point things out about how she appears

The mirror was her fear

She tries to convince them

That she lost parts of herself by sucking her stomach in

But she's caught in her lies when her body acts off guard

Being herself was hard

She hid behind her art

That's how she showed her scars

You tried your best

Forget the rest

Who told you that

You should detest

Yourself

I'm trying my best

But oh

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

Only time will tell
