[Verse 1]
Every time we close the door
Others open, but I opened yours
Again and again and again
But it won't happen again
[Pre-Chorus]
I was wide-eyed, so eager to please
But I'm not the girl that I used to be
I'm someone you knew, but you never seen
I'm the girl of your dreams
[Chorus]
But you'll never know her, now that's she's older
You're a mistake she won't repeat
You'll never know her, she's wiser and bolder
You only saw a glimpse of me
[Post-Chorus]
A glimpse of me
A glimpse of me
[Verse 2]
All ain't fair in love and war
'Cause I was way too insecure
Back then (Back then)
When I let you call me a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I was wide-eyed, so eager to please
But I'm not the girl that I used to be
I'm someone you knew, but you never seen
I'm the girl of your dreams
[Chorus]
But you'll never know her, now that's she's older
You're a mistake she won't repeat
You'll never know her, she's wiser and bolder
You only saw a glimpse of me
[Post-Chorus]
A glimpse of me
A glimpse of me
A glimpse of me
A glimpse of me
[Chorus]
But you'll never know her, now that's she's older
You're a mistake she won't repeat
You'll never know her, she's wiser and bolder
You only saw a glimpse of me
[Post-Chorus]
A glimpse of me (La, la, la-ah)
A glimpse of me (La, la, la-ah)
A glimpse of me (La, la, la-ah)
A glimpse of me (La, la, la-ah)
[Outro]
La, la, la-ah, la, la, la-ah
La, la, la-ah, la, la, la-ah
La, la, la-ah, la, la, la-ah
La, la, la-ah, la, la, la-ah

been holding onto this one for a few years. wrote it based off of a 1,391 word letter that i wrote to someone with absolutely zero intention of every sending it. it was pure catharsis and it needed to be a song!
