[Verse 1] wish I was a young girl I had such a bright view of the world and every one was good in my eyes I was far to young back then to fathom theuu lies and disguse [Pre-Chorus] Now I read the room too fast See the crack before it lasts I learned the shape of goodbye From the way they looked away [Chorus] Bright view, bright view I miss that bright view Bright view, bright view When everyone felt true I was too young I was too young [Verse 2] I kept my hands open wide No map for the cuts I’d find I believed every smile I saw Like a promise in plain sight Then the truth came in hard and slow [Pre-Chorus] Now I read the room too fast See the crack before it lasts I learned the shape of goodbye From the way they looked away [Chorus] Bright view, bright view I miss that bright view Bright view, bright view When everyone felt true I was too young I was too young [Bridge] If I could fold time back I’d hold that girl by the wrist Tell her some hearts wear masks Tell her not every grin means this Still I can’t unsee it now Still I carry what I found [Chorus] Bright view, bright view I miss that bright view Bright view, bright view When everyone felt true I was too young I was too young
