Eighteen - Beyond

Don't wanna be eighteen with responsibilities Sometimes I get scared of growing up Entering a world with broken dreams Sometimes I get scared and throw it all up And June the third is Coming closer and I'm Nowhere near closure Don't wanna be eighteen when I can't ride a bike Still hang onto my sheets during storms In my bed I'm ten but I can't shut my eyes I still wish I wore a school uniform And June the third is Coming closer and I'm Nowhere near closure Don't wanna be eighteen with a messy room Still wonder what lingers under my bed at night Kinda wish I stayed at my mother's home Are we gonna know what it's like to be blind? 'Cause June the third is Coming closer and I'm Nowhere near closure

I was only eighteen, chasing dreams And my mother screamed: Don't be thinking things I wanted fame, but who's to blame? That life felt good enough for me to chase away (chase away, chase away) Away But now that I have it all I won't let you down, down, down, down, down I'd give it all away, 'way, 'way, 'way, 'way For another day with you 'Cause when the mirror starts to fall I won't be around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round You think of all the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain That I've put you through And maybe one day I'll be forgiven And we'll go back to the place again When I was only eighteen, only eighteen I had a picture, a great disaster in my mind And the world would look at me And love me through all disguise But now that I'm older I think of what I lost chasing time I found disorder, comes in pain in this life, this life But now that I have it all I won't let you down, down, down, down, down I'd give it all away, 'way, 'way, 'way, 'way For another day with you 'Cause when the mirror starts to fall And I won't be around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round You think of all the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain That I've put you through And maybe one day I'll be forgiven And we'll go back to the place again When I was only eighteen, only eighteen And maybe one day I'll be forgiven For the pain I put you in When I was only eighteen, only eighteen I was only eighteen

Just turned eighteen And I don't really know what that means I still got the same anxiety I feel so controlled by society And my friends They all seem to know what they wanna be Got their lives planned five years ahead of me And I don't even know 'bout next week Sometimes when I think ahead It pulls a string around my chest Too young to know how to live Too old to be a kid I just turned eighteen And I don't want the world to change me It doesn't take a lot to break me 'Cause I don't recognise me lately I just turned eighteen Oh, one more year of this world turning It's just another candle burning But my reality is hurting Just turned eighteen I'm off track Gotta wish that I could go back And live another day in my past Calling to my youth Sometimes when I think ahead It pulls a string around my chest Too young to know how to live Too old to be a kid I just turned eighteen And I don't want the world to change me It doesn't take a lot to break me 'Cause I don't recognise me lately I just turned eighteen Oh, one more year of this world turning It's just another candle burning But my reality is hurting Just turned eighteen Just turned eighteen Just turned eighteen And I don't really know what that means I still got the same anxiety I feel so controlled by society Yeah, yeah I just turned eighteen And I don't want the world to change me It doesn't take a lot to break me 'Cause I don't recognise me lately (I don't recognise me lately) I just turned eighteen Oh, one more year of this world turning It's just another candle burning But my reality is hurting Just turned eighteen (Happy birthday to me) Just turned eighteen (Happy birthday to me) Just turned eighteen
