lyrics

Do you know you’re not alone?
Even though it feels that way
You are smart and you are strong
And people you don’t know will like you someday
I know you have been afraid
Of being left out, on your own
I know you don’t know this right now
But in your heart you’ll find a home
And you don’t need them anyway

At those parties that they had
You were treated like a mascot
Frozen bra made you so sad
Late bloomers always get made fun of
Why did you care they kicked you out?
Called you a sweet girl as they betrayed you
Why do you still care little girl?
Those girls were never meant for you
Like they said they were

All those BFF necklaces and promises they made
They’d have said those things to anyone those days
6th grade’s kind of weird for everyone so dear, you’re not alone
I know it still hurts when you think of it
So it’s how you know you’ve grown
You rarely think of it

And 6th grade still is weird
They’ll hurt you and you’ll hurt them too
You didn’t mean to
But 6th grade is so weird
You’re changing and it hurts you
It hurts you
Growing up is weird
It’s painful and it hurts you
It hurts you
But you’re not alone
Cause growing up is weird for everyone you’ve ever known
You’ve ever known

You’re not alone.
