| Thirteen, starin' in the mirror
|
| You still look so innocent
|
| But that was all gone yesterday
|
| At eighteen, you’ll see it a little clearer
|
| As somethin' that was taken
|
| Before you could give it away
|
| And you’ll feel dirty, you’ll feel guilty
|
| For what was done to you
|
| There’ll be a canyon in your chest
|
| For what you can’t undo
|
| It’s gonna make you hate yourself
|
| When you didn’t hate yourself at all
|
| It’s gonna make you build a fortress
|
| Where you never had a wall
|
| It’s gonna make you question God
|
| And wonder if he even cares
|
| 'Cause it’s so messed up, it’s so wrong
|
| It’s just so unfair
|
| And when you’re broken past the point
|
| Of what a broken heart can take
|
| The cracks’ll heal
|
| But you’ll always feel the break
|
| And that’s what’s gonna make you
|
| At twenty, it hits you like a race-car
|
| It still feels like a new scar
|
| But one that you don’t talk about
|
| At twenty five, you find the strength to say it
|
| And even though you can’t change it
|
| There’s peace in sayin' it out loud
|
| You’ll feel angry, you’ll feel sad
|
| Once you see it’s not your fault
|
| And that canyon in your chest
|
| Is the little girl you lost
|
| It’s gonna make you hate yourself
|
| When you didn’t hate yourself at all
|
| It’s gonna make you build a fortress
|
| Where you never had a wall
|
| It’s gonna make you question God
|
| And wonder if he even cares
|
| 'Cause it’s so messed up, it’s so wrong
|
| It’s just so unfair
|
| And when you’re broken past the point
|
| Of what a broken heart can take
|
| The cracks’ll heal
|
| But you’ll always feel the break
|
| And that’s what’s gonna make you
|
| It’s gonna make you love yourself
|
| When you don’t love yourself at all
|
| 'Cause if you can get through that
|
| There’s no valley that’s too tall
|
| And all those questions you ask God
|
| Are still gonna be there
|
| 'Cause it’s so messed up, it’s so wrong
|
| It’s just so unfair
|
| And it’s amazing where a broken heart can take you
|
| All the things that bend and stain and break you
|
| That’s what’s gonna make you
|
| But that’s what’s gonna make you |
