"CONVERSATIONS WITH MY 13 YEAR OLD SELF" 

 by PINK

A.  LISTEN AND COMPLETE THE BLANKS.
 
Conversations with my thirteen year old self (x2)

You're
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No
Or guidance
And you always walk
You're
At night when
Nobody else is

Come over here and let me hold your hand
and  you darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to  to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little  thirteen year old me

You're
But you're hiding
God I know that  too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some

The  you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't  your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off  thirteen year old me

Conversations with my thirteen year old self (x2)

Until we meet again
Oh I wish you well oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little thirteen year old me
