(Verse 1) Hey little girl, I know you’re feeling hurt You’re broken down, and you can’t find the words To say how you really feel Their twisted words try to cut you down to size, You can’t help the fact that you’ve always been shy But you start wondering... “is there something wrong with me?” Right now it’s hard to see the possibilities (Chorus) But try... To not let anything stand in your way Even when they don’t Don’t give you the time of day-yeah Things are gonna get better than it seems Oh one day, little girl You’ll be living your dreams You don’t know it at thirteen (Verse 2) Every day at school, you struggle to make it through Feel like everyone’s out to get you All because you’re different... You feel that being who you are is a crime You’ve got your headphones on. All those boy-bands playing; as the mean girls call you names You’re trying to cut out what they’re saying Someone once said: “it’s okay to feel a little bit weird sometimes” (Chorus) But try... To not let anything stand in your way Even when they don’t Don’t give you the time of day-yeah Things are gonna get better than it seems Oh one day, little girl You’ll be living your dreams You don’t know it at thirteen (Bridge) Oh you never know-woah What the future’s gonna hold So live your life, be brave and be bold I wish that someone’d told me this years ago But I figured it out on my own (Chorus) Oh, try... To not let anything stand in your way And now things are better than they seemed Oh I never thought I’d be living my dreams I didn’t know it at thirteen
