Latelly I've been
mentally occupied,
and my wallet is stuffed full of pictures, letters, keepsakes and memories.
So this is the first time and the last time
I'll let myself fuck up the person I want to be.
In my closet I've got skeletons that I hide
I hope I haven't left one outside
so please believe me when I tell you that my life
sucks more than you could ever bet.
But I'm not sorry anymore for my mistakes
because I've grown up and now I'm here to say:
I'm not growing older
I'm just getting stronger
even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees
I am holding on
and if the weight is too heavy
I am moving on, away from this.
I'll take the longest way to run away from home
and I know that I'm not sorry anymore.
So mirror mirror on the wall, tell me what I've been searching for,
cos I've been lost a part of myself thousand miles away from me.
How many times I've thought about this:
"I terribily miss the old me"
I'll follow the only light that will never goes out
just to find myself.
In my closet I've got skeletons that I hide
I hope I haven't left one outside
so please believe me when I tell you that my life
sucks more than you could ever ever bet
But I'm not sorry anymore for my mistakes
because I've grown up and now I'm here to say:
I'm not growing older
I'm just getting stronger
even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees
I am holding on
and if the weight is too heavy
I am moving on, away from this.
So this is the first time
and the last time
I'll let myself fuck up the person I want to be.
I'm not growing older
I'm just getting stronger
even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees
I am holding on
and if the weight is too heavy
I am moving on, away from this.
