I used to be adorable but now I do the adoring I used to be precocious but now I want my flowers to bloom slowly I used to say the cutest things but now I temper my wit with knowing I used to be so smart but now I am trying for wisdom I used to pose for anyone but now I am camera shy I used to think the world was so huge but now it is at my fingertips I used to wish I was older but now I am happy I am not I used to insist I was always right but now I give that gift to others I used to feel greatly loved but now I am a great lover

Used To Be
I used to be adorable but now I do the adoring I used to be precocious but now I want my flowers to bloom slowly I used to say the cutest things but now I temper my wit with knowing I used to be so smart but now I am trying for wisdom I used to pose for anyone but now I am camera shy I used to think the world was so huge but now it is at my fingertips I used to wish I was older but now I am happy I am not I used to insist I was always right but now I give that gift to others I used to feel greatly loved but now I am a great lover
