Lyrics

I'm gettin' older, I think I'm aging well
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for
But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door
Which is ironic 'cause strangers seem to want me more
Than anyone before, anyone before
Too bad they're usually deranged

Last week, I realized I crave pity
When I retell the story, I make everything sound worsе
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing
And maybе that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed
Which is ironic 'cause when I wasn't honest
I was still bein' ignored, lyin' for attention just to get neglection
Now we're estranged

Things I once enjoyed
Just keep me employed now
Things I'm longing for
Someday, I'll be bored of
It's so weird
That we care so much until we don't
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
But I am getting better at admitting when I'm wrong
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
'Cause, to be honest, I just wish that what I promise
Would depend on what I'm given, not on his permission
It wasn't my decision to be abused

Things I once enjoyed
Just keep me employed now
And things I'm longing for
Someday, I'll be bored of
It's so weird
That we care so much until we don't

But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
For anybody asking, I promise to be fine
I've had some trauma, did things that I didn't want to
Was too afraid to tell you, but now, I think it's time
