歌詞

Intro (Soft) Hey little girl with the scraped-up knees And stars in your eyes You won’t believe this But we made it ⸻ Verse 1 – Childhood You used to sit by your bedroom window Tracing shapes in the sky Dreaming of someone Who’d see you, not just pass you by You thought love was a fairy tale Something meant for other girls You held your heart so carefully In your small, uncertain world Every time they didn’t choose you You blamed your own reflection Learning way too early The language of rejection ⸻ Pre-Chorus But you kept believing quietly Even when it hurt ⸻ Chorus Oh little me, You don’t know it yet But every tear you cried Is a step you won’t regret Every lonely night Every silent prayer Is leading you closer To someone who will care One day you’ll be standing With his hand in yours somehow You won’t recognize the girl you were When you look at us now ⸻ Verse 2 – Growing Up You’ll grow older, stronger But still afraid inside Pretending you don’t need love While secretly hoping you might You’ll meet the wrong kind of almost The kind that feels so right You’ll break a little deeper In the middle of the night You’ll question if you’re worthy If you ask for too much If love is meant to stay Or just barely touch ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 But don’t give up on softness Don’t turn your heart to stone ⸻ Chorus Oh little me, You’re braver than you know Every “not this time” Is just making room to grow Every shattered promise Every goodbye kiss Is clearing out the space For a love like this One day you’ll be laughing With his arms around you now And you’ll whisper to the past “Look at us now.” ⸻ Verse 3 – The Love Arrives He won’t come with fireworks Or a perfect line He’ll come in quiet moments That feel like perfect timing He’ll see the parts you hide The doubts you never show And instead of walking away He’ll say, “I’m not letting go.” He won’t fix you Because you’re not broken He’ll just stand beside you And mean every word he’s spoken And the first time he says “You don’t have to be afraid” You’ll realize the little girl Finally feels safe ⸻ Bridge – Realization Love won’t be a fairytale It’ll be choosing every day Through tired mornings Through storms that try to sway It’ll be laughter in the kitchen Hands reaching in the dark Two imperfect people Guarding one shared heart And you’ll learn that happiness Isn’t loud or grand It’s peace in your chest With his fingers in your hand ⸻ Final Chorus – Emotional Peak Oh little me, You survived it all Every doubt, every fall You kept your heart alive Even when it broke And now you’re living Every hope you spoke The girl who cried by the window Is smiling somehow Because she found a love That feels like home Just look at us now ⸻ Outro (Soft, intimate) So thank you For not giving up For believing Even when you were scared We didn’t just grow up We grew into love And this… Is our happiest chapter
