I thought when I grow up
That I’d have it figured out – ouch
Always fighting with the fear of time running out, out
Hearing prodigies at seventeen with that kind of clout
While I’m setting up my second Spotify account
Monthly listens going down, down, down, ah
No I don’t really care about that
But I gotta figure out how I’m paying for myself now
You don’t get views handed to you on a plate
You don’t get big by mistake
Gotta keep working hard giving luck handles
To hold on to, too much to do
Why don’t I sit back and wait for viral views
Like the kids do, make it on the news
Talk to Ellen DeGeneres ‘bout my overnight sensation
Cash my check in and never hear ‘bout me again – no
I don’t want the money,
The clout, or the glory
It’s boring to blend in
I just wanna make a difference in my own way
At my own pace, get my own place
Self-sustain, in my own lane
Not relying on the online games
I thought if I glowed up
I’d be happy with myself - hah
Changed my hair every time that my brain wasn’t well
With the constant of music supporting me throughout
‘Til I realised I kinda like my hair now
Maybe I should stick it out
When my image fit myself, didn’t use it to hide
But to thrive, self-expression not a disguise
I tried to pretend to be something that I’m not
‘Til I snapped out of it and stopped
How was I meant to find sense of self
When I made no sense, now I look back with two cents
Image is not a way to hide
And my genre? I know that I was tired of mine
You gotta drop the labels and restrictions you’re putting on
If the people react, gotta move along
I don’t want the money,
The clout, or the glory
It’s boring to blend in
I just wanna make a difference in my own way
At my own pace, get my own place
Self-sustain, in my own lane
Not relying on the online games
I need a fresh start not to run from who I am
But to open my heart and express the way I can
Through my words, through my sound, through my name
I know it feels different but the heart ain’t changed
I got the freedom to make what I love
And the thought of people leaving me is scary enough
But the idea that they think authenticity’s gone
Is truly terrifying, so I’mma prove that they’re wrong

Ghost

I remember you
I remember the past like it’s still true
And I remember when
I remember when stars were in your eyes
This is overdue
But I’m scared I’d rather not know the truth
No, if you don’t love me
I don’t know what I’d do
So I can learn to ignore this inkling
If you can learn to fake more convincing
Convincing
But I long to have someone to hold me close
‘Cause now you’re feeling like a ghost
And I long to bring some life back to your love
Don’t tell me that you think it’s gone for good
I remember how
I remember how you acted, how you acting now
Ain’t right - I don’t know, I don’t know why
Stars fell out your eyes
But I can let it go
Just repress it better I swear that
I’ll never mention it, no, we’re both scared of
We’re both scared of letting go
If I can pretend that you still want me
You could convince yourself you love me
Still love me
But I long to have someone to hold me close
‘Cause now you’re feeling like a ghost
And I long to bring some life back to your love
Don’t tell me that you think it’s gone for good
You picked up my pieces to let ‘em go
Now, after all I let you know
About me, doubt me, run and scream and shout me down
When you know that I’d never go that low
I am sick and tired of your innocent persona, with that
Attitude that’s lurking it’s like I don’t even know you anymore
Out the door, ‘cause I know my worth
And I know the pain is worth it in the long term
No, I don’t even know why I held out so long
I knew our love was gone, but I wanted something strong
To keep my senses kicking even if it’s not existing anymore
I couldn’t bring myself to walk out that door
‘Cause it represented giving up on the idea of somebody who loved me
And maybe I knew that I’d just be really fucking lonely
But if you’re a ghost, you need to pass on by
So, go - I promise I won’t cry

Fall For Me

Hey! Hey!
Woah, woah
I,
I wouldn’t mind, baby, if you fell for me
I’d like all the attention, the power to reject you
‘Cause for once it isn’t me who’s getting hurt
I,
I couldn’t bring myself to try
But I could call the shots, not getting walked across
For once in my fucking life
Can’t be what I’d love to be
Can’t make you fall in love with me
Can’t make you fall for, fall for me
Can’t make you fall for, fall for me
I know revenge would feel so sweet
Why don’t you fall for, fall for me
Hey! Hey!
You know I,
I’m not the type to mess with a poor girl’s heart
I wouldn’t if I could, and I couldn’t if I wanted to
‘Cause I’m just not that good, I’m pathetic
If they flirt once, I’m addicted
Not hard to predict
But I am tired of being the one let down
Imagine how good it’d feel to have power
It’s what I’d love to see
But I can’t make you,
Can’t make you
Can’t make you
Can’t!- ouch
Can’t make you fall for, fall for me
Can’t make you fall for, fall for me
I know revenge would feel so sweet
Why don’t you fall for, fall for me
