Alyssa Riley - Ballerina Lyrics

Pink bows and ballet
Playing princesses all day
Tiaras and tea parties
Make believe and watching Barbie
Friendship bracelets and sleepovers
When all I wanted was to be older
Why did I want to be older
When believing was easy
My whole life right before me
When I loved who I saw in the mirror
How is it I used to see clearer
Bright eyes and big dreams
When everything was in my reach
That girl is all I want to be
She's still there, I just need reminding
Used to stare at the stars
Feel so little, feel so far
When sixteen was the big dream
Guess it wasn't all it seemed
Felt regret as time drew closer
Now I just keep getting older
Why did I want to be older
When believing was easy
My whole life right before me
When I loved who I saw in the mirror
How is it I used to see clearer
Bright eyes and big dreams
When everything was in my reach
That girl is all I want to be
She's still there, I just need reminding
I admire the girl I used to be
She's still there living inside me
Look long in the mirror, I start to see
That girl looking back, she's proud of me
When believing was easy
My whole life right before me
When I loved who I saw in the mirror
How is it I used to see clearer
Bright eyes and big dreams
When everything was in my reach
That girl is all I want to be
She's still there, I just need reminding
Remind me
Remind me
