Generations In The Making Lyrics

Thought i'd become a better bolder version of myself
The second that i started packing bags for Nashville
But i hope i never change, oh i'm still a little girl
With messy curls, messy curls

Thought moving out would drown it out if i had some distance
From the weight of it all
The doubt and always feeling unwanted
But i hope i never change, oh i'll keep shutting it out
Remind myself, remind myself

That i'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
And every other woman come before me
If my parents and grandparents were adored
Then somebody has loved my face before

I'm more than teenage boys and all the noise i let them have
I'm less spoken than my mom's side, but i'm louder than my dad's
I'm a product of it all; oh it's all ancestral
As i recall, i recall

That i'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
And every other woman come before me
If my parents and grandparents were adored
Then somebody has loved my face before
I'll trace my imperfections in the mirror
And if all my features took centuries of shaping
Then i was generations in the making

I was generations in the making
All my features took centuries of shaping
I was generations in the making

I have my fathers eyes and my grandmothers curls
My mother looked just like me when she was a teenage girl
And i'm sure that i'll love someday, 'cause it's somehow guaranteed
As my predecessors found their paths in love before me

I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
And every other woman come before me
If my parents and grandparents were adored
Then somebody has loved my face before
I'm living proof of other people's lives
I am every lover amplified
And if all my features took generations of shaping
Then i was generations in the making

I was generations in the making
All my features took centuries of shaping
I was generations in the making
