Tonight I wrote a letter
To the girl I used to be
The tiny, timid, unsure thing
That was little me
Self-conscious and uncertain
With her head filled with doubt
So I wrote these words to let her know
Somehow it all works out

Each word, a truth that was certain
Each line, a memory
Each stroke penned by hand and heart
Hoping someday that you'll reed

You're stronger than you believe
And smarter than you know
May be a little bit naïve
But that's okay, in time you'll grow
Your path ahead won't be easy
But your heart will see you through
When you struggle, when you fall
Just know I still believe in you
And I'll sign the letter at the bottom
Extra large for you to see
You're beautiful, amazing and incredible
Love, me

You're gonna struggle in algebra
Solving x and not knowing why
Believe me, it'll come in time
Ms Clark will get you by
And I know you'd give anything
To make that cheerleading team
But I also know for a fact
That's not your real dream

You're stronger than you believe
And smarter than you know
May be a little bit naïve
But that's okay, in time you'll grow
Your path ahead won't be easy
But your heart will see you through
When you struggle, when you fall
Just know I still believe in you
And I'll sign the letter at the bottom
Extra large for you to see
You're beautiful, amazing and incredible
Love, me

And as I finished writing the letter
I tucked it in an envelope
And placed it somewhere I'll remember
For times when I lose hope
Because everybody needs somebody
They can count on anytime
It might as well be me
Together we'll be just fine

You're stronger than you believe
And smarter than you know (smarter than you know)
May be a little bit naïve
But that's okay, in time you'll grow (you'll grow)
Your path ahead won't be easy
But your heart will see you through
When you struggle, when you fall
Just know I still believe in you
And I'll sign the letter at the bottom
With a heart for you to see
You're beautiful, amazing and incredible
Love, me
Love, me
Love me
