    Default Only Thirteen (something my aunt wrote for me)

    I didn't write this, my aunt did, but I'm in tears because of it and I wanted to show it to you

    I remember clearly, you were just about two
    Only learning to speak
    And you told me ‘when I grow up I wanna be like you’
    Even then you were unique
    And I thought that those words were true

    -Chorus-
    But here you are now, you’re thirteen
    And following the crowd
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you not to stick around
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen

    I remember clearly, you were just about four
    Next to your birthday cake
    And you told me ‘When I grow up I want to close the doors
    That lead to our mistakes’
    And I thought you would keep your word

    -Chorus-
    But here you are now, you’re thirteen
    And following the crowd
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you not to stick around
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen

    I remember clearly, you were just about six
    Saying the lines on stage
    You looked at me and said ‘That’s my aunt, who made me this dress
    I hope she’ll never change’
    And I thought I’d never mean less

    -Chorus-
    But here you are now, you’re thirteen
    And following the crowd
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you not to stick around
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen

    I remember clearly, you were just about eight
    Just a kid, just so pure
    And you told me ‘I want to be different, to change this fate’
    Even then you were mature
    And I thought you’d never change that

    -Chorus-
    But here you are now, you’re thirteen
    And following the crowd
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you not to stick around
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen

    -Bridge-
    It seems like my little girl has grown
    And there’s nothing I can do
    Even though you left me alone
    Please remember I’ll always love you

    -Chorus-
    But here you are now, you’re thirteen
    And following the crowd
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you not to stick around
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen

    -Chorus-
    Do my eyes see clearly? You’re thirteen
    Loving with all your heart
    Someday you’ll understand what I mean
    When I tell you to forget this part
    You think you’re big enough at thirteen
    To know who you are, but you’re not
    You’re only thirteen
