Act your age Quote by CrYsTaL
“She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl Voice so quiet you don't hear a word, Always talking but she can't be heard, You can see there if you catch her eye, I know she's brave but it's trapped inside, Scared to talk but she don't know why, Wish I knew back then What I know now. Wish I could somehow Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice. I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out, Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder, Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful, Everything she doesn't see, You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out, And know that right here, right now, You can be beautiful, wonderful, Anything you wanna be, Little me Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age, You can't write a book from a single page, Hands on the clock only turn one way, Run too fast and you'll risk it all, Can't be afraid to take a fall, Felt so big but she looks so small”
