Everything You'll Ever Be

Beautiful, I watched you try

To see yourself through others eyes

Mirrors are an illusion game

They only show you backwards anyway



Magic and the misery

Come and go so easily

Everything you'll ever be

You already are to me



When you were only five years old

Playing Princess in your mothers clothes

Could you feel me standing next to you?

With my plastic saw and playground shoes



Saying, "If, my dear, I'm gone somehow

The dragons come and fail me now

Cause everything you'll ever be

You already are to me"



Why? I don't know why

I don't know why

You think you need to do it

How? I don't know how

I don't know how

But I just sit back and I see my way right through it



When the memories stand ten feet tall

Casting shadows on your bedroom wall

When you pull the shades and kill the light

When you hear me singing out tonight

Will you hear me singing out tonight?



Say days are long and words are cruel

But they won't get the best of you

Cause everything you'll ever be

You already are to me



Yeah, yeah

You already are to me, yeah

Always been to me, yeah yeah

Always been to me, yeah yeah
