everything you'll ever be

Beautiful I watch you try To see yourself through others eyes The mirrors are a losing game They only show you backwards anyways The magic and the misery Come and go so easily Cause everything you'll ever be You already are to me, yeah You were only five years old Playing princess in your mothers clothes Could you feel me standing next to you With my plastic sword and playground shoes Saying if my dear I'm wrong somehow May dragons come and fell me now Cause everything you'll ever be You already are to me, yeah yeah When the memories stand ten feet tall Casting shadows on your bedroom wall When you pull the shades and kill the lights Will you hear me singing out tonight Will you hear me singing out tonight Saying days are long and words are cruel But they won't get the best of you Cause everything you'll ever be You have always been to me, yeah yeah You've always been to me, yeah yeah
