Everything You'll Ever Be
Beautiful, I watch you tryTo see yourself through others' eyesBut mirrors are a losing gameThey only show you backwards anyway
The magic and the miseryCome and go so easilyBut everything you'll ever beYou already are to me
And you were only five years oldPlaying princess in your mother's clothesCould you feel me standing next to youWith my plastic sword and playground shoes
Saying "If my dear I'm wrong somehowMay dragons come and fell me now'Cause everything you'll ever beYou already are to me"
Why, I don't know whyI don't know why you think you need to do itHow, I don't know howI don't know how but I just sit back and I see my way right through it
When the memories stand ten feet tallCasting shadows on your bedroom wallWhen you pull the shades and kill the lightsWill you hear me singing out tonight?Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Days are long and words are cruelBut they won't get the best of you'Cause everything you'll ever beYou have always been to meAlways been to me
