She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl

Voice so quiet you don't hear a word

Always talking but she can't be heard

You can see there if you catch her eye

I know she's brave but it's trapped inside

Scared to talk but she don't know why

Wish I knew back then

What I know now

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful

Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here, right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful

Anything you wanna be

Little me

Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age

You can't write a book from a single page

Hands on the clock only turn one way

(Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Run too fast and you'll risk it all

Can't be afraid to take a fall

Felt so big but she looks so small

Wish I knew back then

What I know now

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful

Everything she doesn't see

(Know that right here, right now)

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here, right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful

Anything you wanna be, oh

Little me

Little me, yeah

Tell you one thing I would say to her

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful

Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here, right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful

Anything you wanna be

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful

Everything she doesn't see

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out

And know that right here, right now

You can be beautiful, wonderful

Anything you wanna be
