Dear mom and dad, it's me
Of course it is who else would it be
I'm the only daughter that you've ever known
I'm writing this letter now because I've grown
I think I should start over


Dear mom and dad, hello
How hard it is to write one note
I've lived my life in the room above the den
Sign on the door says knock or don't come in
I think I should start over


CHORUS

I think I should start over
Live the life I've dreamt I'd always have
Not live alone inside myself now
This new life is for me dear mom and dad


Dear Mom and Dad it's me
I'm glad we can fin'ly meet
Changed my name, I'm the son you always had
I transitioned to save my life, don't be mad
I just had to start over


Dear Mom and Dad it's me
Dad don't cry I still fish
Mom I still like when you teach me how to cook
All I did was change the way I look


BRIDGE

I never thought it'd be this hard for me
I had hoped in all these years you'd see
I think I should start over


CHORUS
