These songs age so quick
A bit like me, a bit like me
These songs will never fit
A bit like me, a bit like me
Cos I’ve been polishing
These tracks for months
All the while I’ve grown beyond
their frustrated words
And I may never learn
What it means to be happy with myself
But I’ve come a long way
Yeah, I love myself more every day
I might not understand
Every part of myself
But I can learn to love
Every part of myself
Making music makes me feel
A little more like myself
even though it might not be heard
by anyone else
I think that I’m starting to understand
How much I’ve lived in the last few years
I fucked up, that’s for damn sure
But now I’m friends with a bunch of queers
And sometimes I might be unhappy
But I know there are people that love me
I’m proud of the person I’m becoming
And I know that in the future I’ll be playing
Brand new songs
Brand new songs
Yeah, I’ll be playing brand new songs
I’ll be playing brand new songs
Yeah, I’ll be playing brand new songs
