Childish "it's not fair" feeling turned into a song
It always goes the same old way
I made my sorry bed today
And had my breakfast on the floor
And I don’t want it anymore
I kept my promise, told the truth
I never meant to lie to you
I got just what I was asking for
But I don’t want it anymore
Nothing in the world is gonna make
Me happy again
I run and run and run and run away
Only to be met
Nobody’s alone all the way
But some days
I wish that I was
So that I couldn’t harm
Anyone that I’ve loved
I was late to my morning class
It’s not the day I meant to have
They’re going to make masks optional indoors
And I don’t want it anymore
Nobody cares ‘cause if they did
They’d see I’m still a fucking kid
Who never asked to be at war
And I don’t want it anymore
Nobody cares cause if they did
They’d see I’m still a fucking kid
I’m twenty and I haven’t grown
I’m terrified to be alone
How do you all know how this works
How do real people find the words
I thought I lied but now I’m sure
And I don’t want it anymore

This hits right in the feels. I've been thinking how the world from 20-ish to definitely-not-20-ish feels... so much the fucking same? And I also don't want it anymore. Love the soaring chorus and beautiful delivery. Well done.

If the goal was to bum me out, well done. The parent in me is dying a little bit.

20 was a hard age for me. I felt like I was reminded daily that even though I was an adult, I wasn’t a *real* adult yet (and this was with me moving across the country on my own, working, renting, and fully supporting myself). I absolutely empathize with you.
I love your song though!

Love those soaring doubles in the "nothing in the world.." Section.
The whole thing captures that feeling really well. Great lyrics.
The weird thing I've noticed getting older is that I never really feel any older or more grown. I still feel like a fucking kid in my 30s. This song hits that spot. Nice work.
