My Diary Of Lyrics (Lyrics & Poems Written by me)

Stay That Way

I once knew a little girl... 

With dirty blonde hair in a messy ponytail. 

She dreamed she could change the world,..

And believed in every fairytale.

In her eyes danced the colors of the rainbow,

Twirling purple and green.

And she made sure to let everyone know, 

That she was a princess in faded blue jeans.

***

Oh, oh, oh. 

I can close my eyes and see her in front of me.

Oh, oh, oh. 

If I look in my reflection, and dig really deep... 

She's there in my heart, 

But she's changing.

She's aging...

She's grown to learn the world... 

She's taken a million steps away from that little girl... 

That little angel I wish I remained...

The little angel I wish had stayed that way. 

***

Thirteen and knowing this helpless age,

I'm stuck in ain't gonna last...

Mama looking at me with tears in her eyes,

Sayin' I'm growing up too fast...

You look at me, 

Wearing Abercrombie, 

Trying my best to blend in with everyone else... 

But in the corner of my room,

Is an old guitar and a pair of converse on my top shelf.

***

Oh, oh, oh.

If I only knew I'd be missing every second of this...

Oh, oh, oh.

If I could go back to the moment I had my very first kiss...

I'd take it all in, and hug the friends I saw everyday.

I haven't spoken to a couple of them since last May.

I'd go back to the age,

Where I believed I'd find Prince Charming in the first guy I fell for... 

I'd go back to that day,

And tell myself to stop worrying about football games. 

Cause in life, there's just so much more... 

Cause you'll be missing that little girl you wish you had remained... 

And you'll be telling your little sisters to stay that way. 

***

Oh... twenty three and kneeling down on my knees.

In my old room... like I did when I was sixteen.

Pull a pile of papers out from under my bed...

Read the words that poured out of your soul back then.

Let a tear slide from your eye as you read them all again.

Just songs written by a little girl with the world up ahead... 

***

Oh, oh, oh.

Look back on who you were as a child,

Baby, smile...

Oh, oh, oh.

It's not over yet.

The journey's set.

Life is too short, so take it all in. 

Even the oldest of us can still be a kid. 

Embrace yourself, and love who you are.

Smile at the sun and kiss good-night to the stars.

Take the last dance, 

And love everyday.

If you can do that,

Then darling....

Stay that way.

***
