lyrics

You feel ostracized by everyone
You feel like you don't have a place
Your hair it always looks well not quite right
And you never know what to put on your face
You thought guitars were cool but you were wrong
And playing games is a thing of the past
No one really cares what you put into your song
You're having to grow up so fast

If you could see who you've become
You wouldn't believe the things you've done
Turns out you were cool all along
If you could see objectively
You're already the person I'm proud to be
So go ahead and prove them wrong
And see who you'll become

You always loved to show off your guitar
Now when you're drunk you'll still try to
Those girls who made you feel like an outsider
Actually ended up respecting you
So when you walk keep your head held high
I wish I could lend you confidence
These years they're hard, that I can't deny
One day you'll know you're brilliant

If you could see who you've become
You wouldn't believe the things you've done
Turns out you were cool all along
If you could see objectively
You're already the person I'm proud to be
So go ahead and prove them wrong
And see who you'll become

Your journey's just begun
Never think you're still too young
You've laid the best foundation for me
And when they tear you down
Well you're a pro at getting off the ground
I wish that you could see
How proud you make me of me

If you could see who you've become
You wouldn't believe the things you've done
Turns out you were cool all along
If you could see objectively
You're already the person I'm proud to be
So go ahead and prove them wrong
And see who you'll become

Now look who I've become
