Aaaaaand it's here! (: This song is really personal and emotional and I could go through every single lyric and tell you what it means to me but tht would take forever. I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to stay tuned for the important message at the end! (:

Lyrics:
Dear 3-year-old me, if only you could see, what this world's turnin out to be
How can you grow up, so oblivious and oh so naive?
It's okay to make mistakes, but promise me today, tell me you'll stay safe
Right now you don't understand, but I am telling you, you'll get this someday

So never cross that road without a grown-up, cuz someone's gonna get you
and it's okay to be scared of the dark
And go ahead and sneak out that last cookie, your mama still loves you
Just promise you won't ever stray too far
Those closet monsters will go away real soon
Take it from this future you

Dear 9-year-old me, you're so much bigger now, you know when to stay away
But those girls are so mean, saying you can't sing, don't listen to what they say
Keep dreaming, dreaming, keep believing, I know it's hard but listen
When they say don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

And I know like don't seem too fair right now, but it's gonna get better
Someday you'll find true friends that really care
And you think that those tears will last forever, that the crying won't stop
But soon you'll have a ton of laughs to share
Be careful cuz some wishes can come true
Take it from this future you

Dear 10-year-old me, she wasn't worth it
Why'd you let her hurt you
Dear 11-year-old me, moving is not like
what you remembered
I hope you remember...

Dear diary, I'm gonna look back and think
if only I knew then what I do know now

Like never take the things you have for granted, cuz someday you could lose them
And don't let anyone change who you are
And people bring you down but keep believing, and never lose hope
Cuz someday you'll become a shining star
These years have made me the girl I am today
And I have the future me to thank
