generations in the making

[Verse 1] 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 all the doubt And always feeling unwanted But I hope I never change, oh I'll keep shutting it out Remind myself, remind myself [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 Forgetting the sole reason why I'm here And if all my features took centuries of shaping Then I was generations in the making [Post Chorus] I was generations in the making All my features took centuries of shaping I was generations in the making [Bridge] Oh, I have my father's eyes and my grandmother's 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 [Chorus] Oh, 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 centuries of shaping Then I was generations in the making [Post Chorus] I was generations in the making All my features took centuries of shaping I was generations in the making
