[Verse 1]
Long days followed by longer nights
You can't do nothin' right when you're thirteen
And it feels like you know best
But your mama says girl not yet
She don't understand you feel more ready then you've ever been
[Pre-Chorus]
And the girls in school try to knock you down
You don't see 'em smile unless you're wearing a frown
And you wish that you were on the other side where grass looks green
So let me tell you now
[Chorus]
Don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Verse 2]
You're older now but still you're feeling insecure
Your emotions leave you on the floor
Now you're fifteen
And now you've reached that middle age
Where all you want is just to get away
But you still can't drive
And wouldn't know where to go anyway
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And all those doubts inside your head are gonna stop you from trying
But every time you fail you're gonna come back fighting
[Chorus]
So, don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Bridge]
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I could tell my younger self
[Chorus]
Don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Outro]
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could
Wish I could tell my younger self (what I know now)
What I know now
What I know now
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I know now
Long days followed by longer nights
You can't do nothin' right when you're thirteen
And it feels like you know best
But your mama says girl not yet
She don't understand you feel more ready then you've ever been
[Pre-Chorus]
And the girls in school try to knock you down
You don't see 'em smile unless you're wearing a frown
And you wish that you were on the other side where grass looks green
So let me tell you now
[Chorus]
Don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Verse 2]
You're older now but still you're feeling insecure
Your emotions leave you on the floor
Now you're fifteen
And now you've reached that middle age
Where all you want is just to get away
But you still can't drive
And wouldn't know where to go anyway
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And all those doubts inside your head are gonna stop you from trying
But every time you fail you're gonna come back fighting
[Chorus]
So, don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Bridge]
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I could tell my younger self
[Chorus]
Don't you worry time will go by fast
The girls that call you names have their own scars
Don't tell your mother that you hate her when she's just tryin' to make you laugh
Don't be scared of standing out in the crowd
Cos' one day you're gonna do yourself proud
If only I could tell my younger self
What I know now
[Outro]
Wish I could tell my younger self
Wish I could
Wish I could tell my younger self (what I know now)
What I know now
What I know now
Wish I could tell my younger self
What I know now
