♫ Verse 1:
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm FF
Storytime was a special time for the girl on the cul-de-sac
C majorC E minorEm
Words she’d hear made worlds appear
A minorAm FF
Brought light to the fading black
C majorC E minorEm
She’d wish on satellites instead of stars
A minorAm FF
To her, they were the same
C majorC E minorEm
She wrote poetry from her parents’ car
A minorAm FF
Oh, it’s such a shame
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm FF
That she left it unread
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
All the stories, she left them unsaid
♫ Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm
Skinned knees, climbing trees
E minorEm FF
All the dreams that I used to believe (ooo)
A minorAm
Now I stay asleep just to see
E minorEm FF
The smile of the girl I used to be

No more birthday celebration

Now she’s terrified of growing older

Losing what's left of her youth (what’s left of her youth)

She’d reminisce ‘bout the sound of bliss
FF
Before she knew the truth

All the dreams that I want to believe

The love of the girl I used to be

Belong to someone else

With a love too big to ever fit in someone else’s words
