I'm nearly twenty...
And where has the time gone?
One moment, I'm adoring your very face.
The next, I'm off on a
Whirlwind adventure;
One that shook me for a loop.
I let the time fly by...
But for what reasons?
What has it cost me in return?
I'm nearly twenty...
And what have I accomplished?
I wasted my life; moving too
Fast, yet not fast enough.
I missed those adoring years
Where I had every right
To say that I was better than you.
The tears came and went;
Second thoughts, second chances and
I finally like me,
But why couldn't I have realized it sooner?
Why couldn't I've been likable...
To say, "I'm a girl. You're a boy.
Let's be something together." ?
I'm nearly twenty...
When can I finally have some freedom?
I just wanna be that girl
Who likes a boy
And have a boy
That likes that girl
With everything they are.
I think I'd trade all my prematurely
Learned knowledge for a
Single night of teenage normalcy
That continues to elude me and my life.
Just to have that single,
Perfect moment
And not care whether
The pain will hurt me tomorrow.
Stop daydreaming...
You're going to college now.
Nothing will be the same.
You'll never fix what
Needs to be fixed.
Let it go.
Grow up!
Boys are for girls.
You're a woman
So get over it.
Let your mind take control
And let the fear take over.
You'll never get what you
Want... never.
You don't own the world or the mind.
They own you.
