They never warned us that growing up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
meant growing tired.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not just of the world but of ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That \u201chow are you?\u201d,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
would become a question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t answer honestly anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all foolishly thought adulthood meant freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead it\u2019s crying in the shower, because that\u2019s the only time you\u2019re alone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and pretending you\u2019re fine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
because there\u2019s no room not to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We used to vibe to sad songs just for the melody,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
now the lyrics feel like home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like someone\u2019s been reading our tired thoughts and turning them into verses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that we wish we didn\u2019t relate to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were in such a rush to grow up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but no one told us growing up meant feeling like you\u2019re slowly falling apart,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while still showing up every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
