Prompt / Lyrics
I remember that young girl Begging someone just to see her Looking for a little mercy In every passing mirror Every silence felt like judgment Every word cut twice as deep I kept giving pieces of me Just to be the one they’d keep You thought the world had written Everything you’d ever be But the truth was waiting Far beyond what you could see Hold on little heart I remember you I wish I could reach your side Wipe the tears You learned to hide And say the words you need You were never meant to carry All the hurt they left behind You were just a child Trying to survive And every scar you thought was weakness Was strength you couldn’t see Love, The woman you grow up to be There was a box of letters Hidden underneath your bed Every line you kept like gospel Every cruel word that was said You believed the quiet voices Saying you were hard to love That the cracks inside your heart meant You were never strong enough You thought the night would last forever That the pain would never leave But the strength you didn’t know you had Was already underneath Hold on little heart I remember you I wish I could reach your side Wipe the tears You learned to hide And say the words you need You were never meant to carry All the hurt they left behind You were just a child Trying to survive And every scar you thought was weakness Was strength you couldn’t see Love, The woman you grow up to be If I could reach across the years I’d hold your shaking hands And tell you life gets bigger More than you can understand You spent so long believing You were something you should hide But the girl who thought she was the problem Was just a child who needed light Hold on little heart I remember you Standing there afraid to breathe Every tear And every scar Is shaping who you’ll be You were never meant to carry All the hurt they left behind You were just a child Trying to survive And every scar you thought was weakness Was strength you couldn’t see You spent years just trying To be the one they’d keep But hold on little heart Love, The woman you grow up to be
