I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
Don't need you to tell me I'm right
I need you to look at this city
And tell me I'll make it tonight
I don't want you to act like a baby
Don't want you to miss one more chance
I want you to live up to dreaming
So big, so just stick to your plans
Sorry I said those mean things in the mirror
I didn't know how to make it much clearer
I'm trying to say that I pray
You're the girl of my dreams
I can't have you doubting your reason
Can't have you telling me lies
I need you to stop your self-treason
And let my bird fly where she flies
I won't ask you to push yourself farther
Won't ask you to do what you can't
But I know you grow when its harder
You always find new roots to plant
Sorry I said those mean things in the mirror
I didn't know how to make it much clearer
I'm trying to say that I pray
You're the girl of my dreams
You're already there, you're already there
You're already there
You've had lesser dreams, but they don't compare
You're already there
I will tell you now and again
Will surround you with all of my might
And I promise I'll be your friend this time
So let's go put up a fight
Sorry I said those mean things in the mirror
I didn't know how to make it much clearer
I'm trying to say that I pray you're the girl
I'm trying to show you I know you're the girl
I want you to see you can be the girl of my dreams
