She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard
You can see there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up
you gotta shout out
And know that right here
right now
You can be beautiful
wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me
Yeah
you got a lot of time to act your age
You can't write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way
(Yeah)
Run too fast and you'll risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looks so small
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
(Know that right here
right now)
You gotta speak up
you gotta shout out
And know that right here
right now
You can be beautiful
wonderful
Anything you wanna be
oh
Little me
Little me
yeah
Tell you one thing I would say to her
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
(You got to) you gotta speak up
(You got to) you gotta shout out
And know that right here
right now
You can be beautiful
wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up
you gotta shout out
And know that right here
right now
You can be beautiful
wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me
