Note to Self

One, two
 ♪
 There are voices in your head
 They go and come back again
 All the years have made old men
 Start to pile
 You are perfect, you are fair
 Think that's why I've kept you there
 In a room safe from despair
 Inner child
 
 Now, the older I get, the harder it is
 To hear what you've been saying
 Thought I was guarding your heart
 Turns out I was the one doing the breaking
 And I'm sorry, I couldn't tell

 You don't think that it's a mess
 It's just glitter on the dress
 That's the power you possess
 Inner child
 But those shadows in your mind
 Make the beauty hard to find
 So I taught you how to hide
 Behind denial
 Now, the older I get, the harder it is
 To hear what you've been saying
 Thought I was guarding your heart
 Turns out I was the one doing the breaking
 And I'm sorry I put you through hell

 Maybe this is the part
 Where we get to
 Start again
 Let me in
 You've got so much more to go
 Just know you're not alone
 That's the reason that I wrote
