Jenny Baker - Person That You Need Lyrics

Some random day in 5th grade
When I looked into the mirror
I saw flaws I'd never seen before
Now they were all too clear
I let some dumb boy tell me
All the things that I should hate
But before that day in 5th grade
I just thought I looked okay
One day when I was 15
My best friend of 7 years
She picked a silent fight with me
Before she disappeared
And I was too naive to know
That I had played a part
And for years I blamed myself
Whenever good things fell apart
Oh it's not always been pretty
But it's all a part of living
At 12 I needed who I was at 17
At 17 I needed me at 23
If I could travel back in time
I'd tell myself that it's alright
You'll see
One day you will be
The person that you need
The person that you need
One day when I was 20
I cried on the bathroom floor
Cuz the person that I loved
Just didn't love me anymore
I spent the next three years
Locking my heart inside my chest
Now at 24, I'd tell myself
You'll fall in love again
I still don't know what I'm doing
But I know that I'll get through it
At 12 I needed who I was at 17
At 17 I needed me at 23
If I could travel back in time
I'd tell myself that it's alright
You'll see
One day you will be
The person who is strong enough
Brave enough
Deserving of all the love
Doesn't run
Opens up
Someone you can trust to
Catch your fall
Answer calls
Be there cuz she's been there too
At 12 I needed who I was at 17
At 17 I needed me at 23
If I could go forward in time
I think she'd tell me it's alright
You'll see
One day you will be
I'll see
One day I will be
The person that I need
