(Notes & Credits for song) This song is different than my other songs. All of my other songs are about specific people in my life, but this song isn't about anyone I know. I didn't know who it was about when I was writing it, but I really really love how it turned out. Hope you like it!!!!
Window VERSE She puts on her makeup Calls her friends on the phone I watch from the window Stand outside the door Hear her cry about a boy Hear her laugh about a joke she heard today See her sympathetic smiles Always knowing what to say She'll stay for a while Make sure you're okay I watch all the time I can't seem to walk away CHORUS When I was her age I was broken and tired Of holding out hope for a fairy tale life Of knowing the only heart I was breaking was mine Caught up in ideals And not what was real Tried to meet every expectation I was told how to feel If only I knew I could give it all up If only I knew I was always enough VERSE She knows what she likes She doesn't try to hide She's found the love of her life I'm still looking for mine She has dreams and ambitions And people who listen People who kept their promises People who didn't CHORUS When I was her age I was broken and tired Of holding out hope for a fairy tale life Of knowing the only heart I was breaking was mine Caught up in ideals And not what was real Tried to meet every expectation I was told how to feel If only I knew I could give it all up If only I knew I was always enough OUTRO She's growing up fast And today is that last She's leaving tonight And she's not looking back And I hope she makes it Hope she's not too sad When she finally walks away from her mom and her dad And the guy that she loved Broke her heart just for fun Left her whole life in pieces She thought he was the one I hope she finds someone she loves Hope he loves her just as much Hope he always makes her laugh Hope he never makes her cry She'll put on her makeup Call her friends from back home Tell them all about all the things that she’s done She’ll hold her bouquet with a smile on her face Her family will come visit to help her plan her kid’s Birthdays She’s so far away From the life that she knew From the good days and the bad days All the things she’s been through And as the years pass her by She’ll remember the day that she left And she won’t have any regrets
