Rita Ora, Brandy & Descendants Cast - The Girl I Used To Be Lyrics

Rita Ora, Brandy & Descendants Cast Lyrics

"The Girl I Used To Be"
(from "Descendants: Wicked Wonderland" soundtrack)

[QUEEN OF HEARTS:]
Remember how we used to be in high school?

[CINDERELLA:]
I know, we were so carefree

[QUEEN OF HEARTS, CINDERELLA:]
Yeah, we would play by our own rules, mm

[CINDERELLA, QUEEN OF HEARTS, BOTH:]
Didn't have our own 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, mm

[CINDERELLA:]
I wish I didn't hide behind the curtain (Don't wanna hide anymore)

[QUEEN OF HEARTS, QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
I try to keep things sunny, so I smile 'til my cheeks start hurting, mm

[QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
It's all curtsy, put it on, smile, wave
Lucky girl, be happy, behave

[QUEEN OF HEARTS:]
The dark, it tries to consume me

[CINDERELLA:]
On these days, my daughter sees right through me

[QUEEN OF HEARTS:]
So how can I reach out? She feels so far away

[CINDERELLA:]
Well, if she's anything like you, I know she would say, oh yeah

[QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
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

[CINDERELLA:]
The woman that you see

[QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
And the girl I used to be

[CINDERELLA:]
The girl who always had a plan

[QUEEN OF HEARTS, QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
The girl who always held my hand through all of my phases

[QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
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

[CINDERELLA:]
I wish our daughters were near

[QUEEN OF HEARTS, CINDERELLA & BOTH:]
My daughter
My daughter, if you can hear us

[QUEEN OF HEARTS:]
I hope you know I'm proud of the girl you are

[CINDERELLA:]
And I hope you know I'm near even when I'm far

[QUEEN OF HEARTS, QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA:]
And if you get lost, look inside your heart

[QUEEN OF HEARTS & CINDERELLA, QUEEN OF HEARTS:]
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
