Coversations With My 13 Year Old Self
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home
Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you, darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little, heartbroken, thirteen year old me
You're laughing
But you're hiding
God, I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you, and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh, just give it some time
The pain you feel is real; you're not asleep, but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh, don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed-off, complicated, thirteen year old me
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Until we meet again
Oh, I wish you well, oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little, thirteen year old me
