Someone kissed my closing eyelids
And I made it mean more than it did
And someone put a plate down a little too loud
Now I still flinch whenever I hear the sound
[Pre-Chorus]
As I’m getting older
I learned my mumma was just trying her best
And not that I owe her forgiveness
But I’m sorry to that girl in a dress
[Chorus]
So if you wanna wear pink, I’ll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance, then I’ll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing, then consider it sung
I’m sorry that you had to grow up this young
[Verse 2]
Forget that love is earned, 'cause it’s always deservеd
I know you had to work just to show them your worth
Remembеr that a plate is nothing but a plate
Even if it breaks, we can throw it away
[Pre-Chorus]
As I’m getting older
I learned that I was only trying my best
And I think I owe her a deep breath
She was the strongest little girl in a dress
[Chorus]
So if you wanna wear pink, I’ll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance, then I’ll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing, then consider it sung
I’m sorry you had to grow up this young
[Bridge]
You were the strongest little fighter
Who carried me here
And I know that you’re tired from surviving in fear
So lay down
Close your eyes
‘Cause now I got us for the rest of our life
[Chorus]
So if I wanna wear pink, I’ll wear it for me
And if I wanna dance, then I’ll lift up on my feet
And I just wanna sing at the top of my lungs
Thanks for being there growing up so young
