Lyrics

I turned 23 when I was 13
Always five-10 years older than the kids next to me
Not sure what did it, maybe the hospital visits
Or being the new girl no one really gets
Oh but it was hard
Trying to convince yourself you're still a kid
When you're 14 and you can't play the games
That everybody wants you to play
Cause you're laying on the bathroom floor in pain
Then you're 17 and you can't take a breath
Your body aches with every step
They say you're wise but you didn't choose this test
I guess growing up doesn't always wish you the best
I moved across the country to chase a wild fantasy
A glimmer of light sat in that airplane seat
Courage fought on till the world was all but gone
A life of hope disappeared when spring had begun
Oh I was 20 when I lost my mind
Was ready to leave it all behind
Didn't know if I could make it one more night
21 seeing clear again
Right when I lost all my friends
I guess when you're happy they think you don't need them
I guess growing up leaves you lonely in the end
Never broken a bone but my heart's sure been through some breakin
Never thought I would say this, but I'm grateful for all of my changing
I think I can handle any nightmare that I might face today
I think I can make it, after all of this I'm gonna be okay
23 and I'm doing just fine
Not afraid of being put through fire
I'm confident that the flames just fuel my life
And more years just means more strength
I'll overcome anything
Can't wait to meet the next version of me
I guess growing up was never meant for the weak
