Dear Little Me Verse 1 Dear little me, I know you’re scared, Trying to smile like nobody cares. Counting the cracks in your bedroom ceiling, Wondering why your heart keeps bleeding. You learned too young to hide your tears, To carry pain beyond your years. You kept believing if you were good enough, Someone would finally call it love. You blamed yourself for every goodbye, For every broken promise and every lie. But listen close… before you fall apart, None of that was ever your fault. Pre-Chorus If I could reach across the years, I’d wipe away every single tear. I’d hold your face and make you see… You were always worth loving. Chorus Dear little me… None of this was your shame. You were never too loud, Never too broken, Never the one to blame. I know you prayed For somebody to stay. So I’m here now, Holding your hand The way they never did. I promise you… We’re gonna live. Verse 2 I know about the silent nights, The fear that followed every light. The people who should’ve kept you safe Left wounds no child should have to face. You stopped believing in your own voice, Thinking survival was your only choice. You apologized for taking up space, While hiding heartbreak behind your face. You kept asking heaven, “Why me?” Never knowing who you’d grow to be. Every scar they left behind… Will someday become your strength. Pre-Chorus I wish I could stand beside your bed, Quiet every thought inside your head. I’d whisper softly through your fears… “You make it out of here.” Chorus Dear little me… None of this was your shame. You were never too loud, Never too broken, Never the one to blame. I know you prayed For somebody to stay. So I’m here now, Holding your hand The way they never did. I promise you… We’re gonna live. Verse 3 One day you’ll wake and hear your own laugh, Without wondering how long it’ll last. You’ll find a love that feels like peace, Not something you have to beg to keep. You’ll learn the little girl inside Never deserved the tears she cried. She deserved warm arms and gentle words, To be protected, seen, and heard. And though the memories never fade, They’ll stop deciding who you are each day. You’ll become the woman You spent your whole childhood waiting for. Bridge I’m sorry nobody came in time. I’m sorry you thought you had to survive alone. You should’ve been someone’s little girl… Not someone’s lesson. Not someone’s burden. Not someone’s silence. But hear me now… You are still here. Final Chorus Dear little me… Look at you now. Still breathing. Still fighting. Still somehow standing proud. The world tried hard To convince you to disappear, But you became the woman You spent your whole childhood needing here. So dry those eyes… You don’t have to earn your place. I’ll spend the rest of my life Giving you everything They never gave. Outro Close your eyes, little one… You don’t have to carry this anymore. I’m here now. And I’m never letting go.
