If I met my younger self
I wonder what I'd say
I wonder what she'd think
Of the girl I am today
I wonder does she have regrets
Question choices she knows she made
What changed in her innocent mind
When her youth began to fade
Is she ashamed of who I am
I wonder did I let her down
Am I at all what she had planned
Or did I make her proud
What happened to the girl she pictured
This is not the life she dreamed
When did she become so bitter
I'm no longer so naive
The truth is that I miss it
Finding good in every little thing
Even in the worst of times
I was always searching for hope
She was always optimistic
The world an opportune type place
She'd made her mind, chase dreams down
And the world, she'd readily face
I hope I didn't ruin
The passion running through her veins
And I hope she soon will realize
That we are really still the same
I wonder what I'd say
I wonder what she'd think
Of the girl I am today
I wonder does she have regrets
Question choices she knows she made
What changed in her innocent mind
When her youth began to fade
Is she ashamed of who I am
I wonder did I let her down
Am I at all what she had planned
Or did I make her proud
What happened to the girl she pictured
This is not the life she dreamed
When did she become so bitter
I'm no longer so naive
The truth is that I miss it
Finding good in every little thing
Even in the worst of times
I was always searching for hope
She was always optimistic
The world an opportune type place
She'd made her mind, chase dreams down
And the world, she'd readily face
I hope I didn't ruin
The passion running through her veins
And I hope she soon will realize
That we are really still the same
