You're just 11 and it ain't fair
They laugh about your clothes
And your dreams going nowhere
Those Coppell mean girls like to talk
You used to sit with the cool kids
But now they're calling you stupid
While you're eating all alone in a bathroom stall
Oh darling, right now it's hard to understand that
This moment right here is gonna write your anthem
Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think
And sometimes walking through the dark
Is the only way out
Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees
And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd
Oh, say can you see me now, me now
Hold on to your microphone hairbrush
Even when the weight of the doubt feels too much
It's hard for you to believe what I believe
Oh-oh-oh
But I promise I'ma show you
They'll go from pretending they don't even know you
To singing every word to your songs in the nosebleeds, yeah
Oh, say can you see it, don't matter what they think
And sometimes walking through the dark
Is the only way out
Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees
And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd
Oh, say can you see me now
It's kinda shaky in those shoes where you're standing
Just keep on dancing to the beat of your own anthem
Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think
And sometimes walking through the dark
Is the only way out
Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees
And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd
Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?)
Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?)
Oh, say can you see me now (can you see, can you see me now)
Can you see, can you see me now?
Can you see me, can you see me now?
Can you see me now?
