14 Year Old Me Lyrics

At 14 I had a dream

That I would dance, play the role of a queen

On a diet so that I'd stay lean

Had a reputation that preceded me

Then suddenly I couldn't dance like before

All my injuries injured my soul

14 year old me

Yeah I really did her dirty

I never reached her dreams

14 year old me

I can't believe

What she'd think of me yeah

My teachers told me

I'd never be anything if I wasn't skinny

Their validation was all that I needed

And I confess I believed them

Then over time God opened up my eyes

To my pain, hurt, and lies I held inside

14 year old me

Yeah I really did her dirty

I never reached her dreams

14 year old me

Yeah I really feel sorry

She was stuck in their dreams

Old me would not be proud of who I am

Not be proud of the choices I've made

Or that I let her fade away

She would not be proud of what I do

Not be proud of my body type

Or the way I live my life

But 14 year old me was stuck in the worldly dreams

Not gonna lie it broke me and led me to my knees

It's the worst pain I've ever gone through

Now all I have to say is I'm living God's dream for me

God is proud of who I am

He's proud of the choices that I've made

And that let her fade away

He is proud of who I am

God is proud of me

He is proud of me yeah

So I will never be

I will never be

Old me again

I'm glad I won't be

I'm glad I can't be

I'm glad

That I will never be fourteen
