Everything you'll ever be

Everything you'll ever be
Beautiful, I watch you try
To see yourself through others eyes
The mirrors are a losing game
They only show you backwards anyway

The magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
But everything youll never be
You already are to me
You were only five years old
Playing princess in your mothers clothes
Could you feel me standing next to you
With my plastic sword and playground shoes
Saying if my dear Im Lancelot, Dragons couldnt fell me now.
Because everything youll ever be
You already are to me
Why
I dont know why
I dont know why you think you need to do it
How
I dont know how
I dont know how you been
I just sit back in my seat and wait right through it
When the memories are ten feet tall
Throwing shadows on your bedroom wall
When you pull the shades and kill the lights
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Days are long and words are cruel
They wont get the best of you
Because everything youll ever be
You have always been to me
