Verse 1 There was a girl with stars in her eyes, Believed every dream could touch the sky. She’d sing into a hairbrush in that bedroom mirror, Thought tomorrow was already here. She never saw the miles ahead, The tears she’d cry, the words unsaid. She thought forever had all the time… She had no clue what life could find. Pre-Chorus Somewhere between surviving and holding on, The woman in the mirror slowly disappeared. Chorus I miss me… The girl who smiled so easily. The one who thought the world was waiting, And every mountain could be climbed. I miss laughing without pretending, Waking up with peace of mind. I raised my babies, paid my dues, Kept everybody else’s fire burning too. Now I look inside and all I see… Is someone who misses me. Verse 2 My babies grew and found their wings, They’re living all the dreams I dreamed. And Lord, I’d do it all again, But somewhere I forgot where I had been. Now every morning feels the same, Coffee, work, and aching pain. Too tired to chase what used to call, Wonder if there’s anything left at all. Pre-Chorus Dream jobs don’t wait forever, they say, And somehow all my “somedays” slipped away. Chorus I miss me… The girl who smiled so easily. The one who thought the world was waiting, And every mountain could be climbed. I miss dancing in the kitchen, Believing everything would be alright. I spent my whole life giving pieces, Till I couldn’t find what was left of mine. Now I look inside and all I see… Is someone who misses me. Bridge Maybe she’s not gone forever… Maybe she’s just buried underneath The years of being everything For everyone but me. If she’s still somewhere deep inside, I pray she hears this melody. ‘Cause I’d give anything to meet The woman I used to be. Final Chorus I miss me… The hope I used to carry free. The pretty girl who never counted Every wrinkle, every gray. The one who still believed tomorrow Could somehow change today. I know I can’t turn back the years, Or chase the dreams that slipped away. But if there’s one small piece of her Still beating in this heart of mine… Maybe one day she’ll remember… How to find me one more time. Outro I don’t miss being younger… I miss being me.
