Message to Little Me (unreleased) lyrics by Thomas Deakin

Message to Little Me
Written by: Thomas Deakin

Intro(Spoken)
Hey, man
I wrote this for you
I’m proud of you, dude
Even when you didn’t know who „you” was

Verse One
I know we hate January
I know the mirror lied
I know the shirt never fit right
Tugging selves down over wrists
Practicing smiles that don’t exist
Just to sit beside the other kids

Pre-Chorus
They laughed about your voice
The way you held your hands
Asked questions you weren’t ready to understand
You said „Yeah, me too”
To feel like a man

Chorus
But you lived, little me
Even hiding in your skin
Even shrinking in the hallway
Trying not to make a scene
You bent your edges backward
Just to fit in their frame
Look at you
Still carrying your name

Verse Two
They said you looked „off” in photos
Your gap tooth, your heavy coat
Called you slow for walking quiet
Called you fake for staying close
You wore their voices like a mask
You forgot who you were

Bridge
And you hurt yourself every day
With trying to be like everybody
And thinking that if you could just be „normal”
You’d feel relief
But baby, there’s nothing wrong with who you came to be

Chorus Two
You lived, little me
Past the echo and the tease
Still flinch at old recordings
But you’ve learned to breathe
They never saw your softness
As the brave and wild thing it is
But look at you
You still sing through the hiss

Outro
You were never too much
You were never too weird
You were always real
You’re still here
