~Lily'sPOV

Its visiting day at the hospital so the nurses and doctors ask if I could perform a song for everyone who is visiting. Of course I say yes. Doing stuff like that helps keep me in check and I just really enjoy it.

Everyone gathers in front of the small stage in the auditorium. I walk out onto the stage and sit at the piano.

"Hello everyone and welcome. My name is Lily and what I'm going to play for you today is a new song I just recently wrote while I was here. Its called Little Me and I hope you like it"

She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl.

Voice so quiet you don't hear a word.

Always talking but you can't be heard.

You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but its trapped inside

Scared to talk but you don't know why

Wish I knew back then what I know now

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful, anything you wanna be

Little Me

Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age

You can't write a book from a single page

Hands on the clock only turn one way

Run too fast and you risk it all

Can't be afraid to take a fall

Felt so big but she looks so small

Wish I knew back then what I know now

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful, anything you wanna be

Little Me

Little Me, yeah, oh

Tell you one thing I would say to her

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
