lyrics

When I was a girl, I knew I was pretty
Was smarter than most and so charming and witty
I thought I could light up the room like the fourth of July
If you asked me, I’d tell you, I had only begun
I'd be Xena and Einstein all rolled into one
I knew I was gonna be big just as soon as I tried

So, where is the girl who threw stars at her feet?
When did the warrior princess retreat?
When did she look at herself and say, “Oh, never mind.”
Well, I’m still the girl who believed she could fly
She’s still a part of me deeper inside.
It’s hard to remember the words, but I still want to try
It’s the story of me

We batter ourselves just trying to be better
To be the smartest and geekiest winsome go-getter
The bar just keeps getting raised when we get to the top
If you ask me, I’ll tell you, I’m still figuring out
Just who I am, what I want, and where to hang out
I know I deserve more, some days it’s just hard to see why

CHORUS

I’d like to talk to the 12-year old me
And tell her she's playing a role we don't need
Don't pretend that you don’t want the things you're afraid you can’t have
If you ask me, I’ll tell you, I like who I am
I’m stronger each day if I give it a chance
I don’t know the outcome, I’m writing it all as I go

CHORUS

So, maybe it's time that I learned how to stand
Maybe it's time I embraced who I am
I don't know the whole story, but at least now I don't have to lie.
It’s the story of me
