The Girl I Used To Be

Lyrics from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland

Remember how we used to be in high school
Oh, no, we were so carefree
Yeah, we would play by our own rules

Didn't have a road map
Just a recipe book and a dust broom
(What a mess)
But we had hope
And we had each other
And that was enough

I wish I didn't hide behind the curtain
(Don't wanna hide anymore)
I try to keep things sunny
So I smile till my cheeks start hurting

It's all curtsy, put it on, smile, wave
Lucky girl, be happy, behave
But the dark, it tries to consume me
And these days my daughter sees right through me

So how can I reach her when she feels so far away
Well, if she's anything like you, I know she would say
Oh yeah

When it gets dark, find the light in you
And when the door slams, gotta push right through
When times get tough, she'll know what to do
We always find a way
Can't turn time, but we sure can dream
Maybe we can live in the space between

The woman that you see
And the girl I used to be
The girl who always had a plan
The girl who always held my hand through all of my phases
So slick how quick the wind changes
And now it's our turn to break out, be brave
With new dreams, the two dreams we made

I wish our daughters were near us
My daughter
My daughter
If you can hear us

I hope you know I'm proud of the girl you are
And I hope you know I'm near even when I'm far
And if you get lost, look inside your heart
You'll always find a way

Maybe it's time that we split the screen
Maybe it's time that we let them see
A different side of me (A different side of)
The girl I used to be
