The Girl You Wanted To Be Video (MV)

My therapist told me I should write a letter to you
I responded, I'm not sure how much good that'll do
'Til I remembered, you always liked to try something new
So hey
You're 25 now
It didn't take you long to go
From singing Alvin and the Chipmunks to this song you wrote
They always told you, you're gonna grow up fast, so don't
And I just wanna tell you
Everything turns out okay
The skeletons in your closet might scare you
You learn to look the other way
When you were 7, you flipped your bike and scraped your knee
And you were crying, wish that could be your worst memory
But I remember the pain you felt when you were 13
The smell of alcohol in the air
The burning tears in your eyes
The way you lost your voice from screaming out to the sky
But learned you couldn't change God's mind
And I just wanna tell you
Everything turns out okay
The skeletons in your closet might scare you
You learn to look the other way
When you were 14, you met your true love
Married at 20, now you've got two dogs
I'm trying my hardest to be the girl you wanted to be
Truth is, I'd give anything for you to just stay happy
This isn't goodbye, you and I are the same, you know
You'll keep me young and, I'll stay with you when you're old
They always told me, you're gonna grow up fast, so don't
