Took an old scrapbook off a closet shelf
Dusted off the cover, dusted off myself
Laid it in my lap and I opened it up
To find who I am in who I was
Wonder Woman cape on a wide-eyed girl
Dreams too big for a small town world
Faded red ribbon from my first track meet
Second place never was enough for me

You wanna win but you compromise
You lose yourself in all the lies
'Til you're someone you hardly recognize

Oh, they say you can't move forward when you're lookin' back
But I'm hopin' there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
Every snapshot, memory, missing piece
Just might put me back together
Help me see the bigger picture

White corsage, senior prom
Christmas from the year that I lost my mom
Wedding day wavin' from the back of a car
Before broken vows and broken hearts

Now I'm time and tears and years removed
From a world of hurt I can't undo
Lost and searchin' for some kind of clue

Oh, they say you can't move forward when you're lookin' back
But I'm hopin' there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
Every snapshot, memory, missing piece
Just might put me back together
Help me see the bigger picture

The girl I thought I was isn't lost in yesterday
Am I strong enough to turn another page?

They say you can't move forward when you're lookin' back
But I found a couple answers hidden right here in my past
Every snapshot, memory, missing piece
Just might put me back together
Help me see the bigger picture
Oh, the bigger picture

Took an old scrapbook off a closet shelf
Dusted off the cover, dusted off myself
