Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self

You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely

I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance

And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home

Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken thirteen year old me

You're laughing
But you're hiding
God I know that trick too well
You forget

That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and

Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some time

The pain you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off complicated thirteen year old me

Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self

Until we meet again
Oh I wish you well oh
I wish you well
Little girl

Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl

I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little thirteen year old me

    General Comment:Wow. I just heard this song & I can so see myself in a few years looking back on my 13 year old life (which is now. turned 13 in July) & saying this to myself. My 13 year old life so far is my hardest life. I've had to deal with a lot of stress & losses. It's been really hard for me & this song lifted some of the weight off my shoulders a little bit. It's a great song & I love P!nk. She writes how she feels & then puts it in song to show people she knows what they're going through.

    General Comment:my friend gave me her ipod one day and i came across the song we were on a school trip and when i listend to it i was near tears when i got home i instantly downloaded it every single lyric to me means so much to me then and still now ,pink is an amazing person for writing this song and without it i don't know how i would have got though it without her she is like the big sister i never had.I have spent many times alone listening to this song in floods of tears but with hope that it was'nt just me going though this hard time. the line your laughing but your hiding was one of the best lines for me as that was what i did and still do.one of the most powerful sounds ever written.
    to be honest its actally a postive song as she is saying that she is know the shell meaning you will get through this and it will make you a stronger person.

    General Comment:This song makes so much sense to me. I'm only 12 now, but this song is just beautiful and it feels like P!nk is comforting me and telling me to stay strong... And over the past few months this song has kept me going...

    General Comment:I bet this song hits almost every girl hard, no matter what kinda enviroment they were raised in. I know I would say exactly these words if I could go back and talk to 13 year old me.

    General Comment:This is exactly how I felt at 13. I'm 14 now, and it's gotten soo much better since then.


    The message is basically being a teenager sucks, but hold on and don't give up because better days WILL come:)
