Lyrics
If I could send a letter back in time
To younger me in her wilder days
A daydreamer with her head in the sky
And always learning the hard way

I bet she'd think she knows better than me
But that's just part of her charm
Nah, you couldn't tell her anything
Nothing stubborn as her and her heart
But I'd tell her while you're reaching for the stars

Just be careful what you wish for honey
You never know it might come true
Don't be tempted by the easy money
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
The same thing that takes the edge off
It can take the shine off after a while
So wear your diamonds on the inside
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child

They're gonna love you for the things you do
But not for who you are
So don't go trading in your ride or dies
For the cool kids down at the bar

The time will come when you fall in lust
And it'll look like love
Until it knocks you right down in the dust
But know that you'll get back up
Yeah, know that you're more than enough

Just be careful what you wish for honey
You never know it might come true
Don't be tempted by the easy money
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
The same thing that takes the edge off
It can take the shine off after a while
So wear your diamonds on the inside
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child
Ooh-ooh

Just be careful what you wish for honey
You never know it might come true
Don't be tempted by the easy money
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
The same thing that takes the edge off
It can take the shine off after a while
So wear your diamonds on the inside
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child
Everything that glitters ain't golden, child
Ooh-ooh

If I could send a letter back in time
To younger me in her wilder days
I'd let her know that she's doing just fine
And everything's gonna be okay
