Kate Miller-Heidke - Child In Reverse

Twelve Year Old Me

When I was a little girl
I wanted to be pretty
I wanted to be popular
I didn't have a hope in hell

When I was a little girl
My mother told me I
Could be anything I liked
My mother lied

When I was a little girl
I didn't have hope in hell
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a hope in hell

Dear five year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
You're gonna be just fine
I wish I could help you to see

Twelve year old me
I know there are people
Who are making you feel like you're not pretty enough
I know one day you will say
"Who gives a fuck?"

I promise you won't give a
I promise you won't give a

When I was a little girl
I always felt ashamed
I needed to be pretty
Pretty was the best thing

When I was a little girl
And I didn't have a hope in hell
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a hope in hell

Dear nine year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
You're gonna be just fine
I wish I could help you to see

Twelve year old me
I know there are people
Who are making you feel like you're not pretty enough
I promise you one day you will say
"I'm so sorry little girl"

(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm so sorry little girl"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm gonna make it up to you"

(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"If it's the last thing I do"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"I'm sorry little girl"

(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much to unlearn"
(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much under the surface"

(I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry)
"So much buried there to hurt us"

Dear twelve year old me
I wish I could reach back in time
And tell you it's alright
