Lyrics

Left to myself in your house like it's totally fine

The place is so quiet, I feel like I'm losing my mind

Should I be left alone like this at only ten years old?

Or would it be called neglect if other adults know?

Mmm, it's so empty

And that emptiness follows as I grow up

I feel stuck in a version that still needs your love

Mmm, there's a hopelessness

There's no way my soul has chosen this

Like a hole was punched right through my chest, oh

And I could be a spy or an assassin

The way I scan the room for what might happen

And my face won't let you know how much I panic

Being normal is way harder than I imagined

My mind thinks it's protecting and adapting

But it kills my good ideas before they happen

With the way I self-destruct, I'm an assassin

Learning to be loved is harder than I imagined

I never know what I might do that'll make him too mad

When I hear his footsteps my heart starts a-beating too fast

But I've gotten good at understanding every mood

And if I can balance him, it's safer for me too

Mmm, I'm so anxious

And that anxiousness makes me get good grades

And behave and try to be what people need

Mmm, there's a hopelessness

Should a child feel this depressed?

I got older and it never really leaves

And now I could be a spy or an assassin

The way I scan the room for what might happen

And my face won't let you know how much I panic

Being normal is way harder than I imagined

My mind thinks it's protecting and adapting

But it kills my good ideas before they happen

With the way I self-destruct, I'm an assassin

Learning to be loved is harder than I imagined

So I go and find the threats before they find me

Try to rest my head, but they remind me

That I'd rather be prepared than be too happy

I guess I'm a hypervigilante

Ooh, it's so empty

And that emptiness follows as I grow up

I feel stuck in a version that still needs your love

Ooh, I'm so anxious

And that anxiousness makes me never rest

I try my best, but I still think I'm not enough

So I could be a spy or an assassin

The way I scan the room for what might happen

Miss the good times 'cause I'm preparing for something tragic

Learning to be safe is harder than I imagined

I know my brain is trying to protect me

'Cause it knows what it's like to live on empty

But I spend my time like a hypervigilante

Trying to solve a future that ain't even happened

So I could be a spy or an assassin

The way I scan the room for what might happen

And my face won't let you know how much I panic

Being normal is way harder than I imagined
