Adult Girl Songtext
I can let go of the flower, now my power has returned
I can look back at the past, now I see what I have learned
Try my best to act my age, but the child won't behave
She wants to scream and cry and rage
And who am I to take her grave?
The teenage years I never lived
The innocence of high school kids
Young romance and endless nights
Of carefree joy and pure delight
I can look back at the past, now I see what I have learned
Try my best to act my age, but the child won't behave
She wants to scream and cry and rage
And who am I to take her grave?
The teenage years I never lived
The innocence of high school kids
Young romance and endless nights
Of carefree joy and pure delight
Didn't grow up in a normal world
And now I'm just an adult girl
Now I'm too old to die young, but at least I had some fun
Spent my twenties on thе run dreamin' of suicide and love
Think I'm stuck somеwhere between childhood and va-va-voom
Always cycling in-between existential dread and doom
Messy numb razors and knives
Missed arteries and blacked-out nights
Kittens, mittens, plushy toys
Bows and hearts and sullen boys
Broke me off the teenage world
Now I'm just an adult girl
An adult girl
Someone, tell me how to heal the terror livin' inside me
I don't even know what's real, I just know I wanna be free
All the things I lost in love, swept them underneath the rug Like the child, I wait and hope you might repair the things you broke
Now I understand the world of adult boys 'cause I'm an adult girl
I'm an oyster without a pearl, but that's just how it is for an adult girl
An adult girl
Adult girl
And now I'm just an adult girl
Now I'm too old to die young, but at least I had some fun
Spent my twenties on thе run dreamin' of suicide and love
Think I'm stuck somеwhere between childhood and va-va-voom
Always cycling in-between existential dread and doom
Messy numb razors and knives
Missed arteries and blacked-out nights
Kittens, mittens, plushy toys
Bows and hearts and sullen boys
Broke me off the teenage world
Now I'm just an adult girl
An adult girl
Someone, tell me how to heal the terror livin' inside me
I don't even know what's real, I just know I wanna be free
All the things I lost in love, swept them underneath the rug Like the child, I wait and hope you might repair the things you broke
Now I understand the world of adult boys 'cause I'm an adult girl
I'm an oyster without a pearl, but that's just how it is for an adult girl
An adult girl
Adult girl
