The Girl I Used to Be (From "Descendants: Wicked Wonderland")

The Girl I Used to Be - Rita Ora/Brandy/Descendants – Cast/Disney
Remember how it used to be in high school?
Oh no we were so carefree
Yeah we would play by our own rules mmm-mmm-mmm
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 mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
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
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
It's all curtsy put it on smile wave
Lucky girl be happy behave
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
And maybe we can live in this place 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
And maybe it's time that we let them see
A different side of me
A different side of
The girl I used to be
