[Intro]

It's so weird


[Verse 1]

I'm getting older, I think I'm aging well

I wish someone had told me I'd be doing this by myself

There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for

But it's different when a stranger's always waiting at your door

Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more

Than anyone before (Anyone before)

Too bad they're usually deranged


[Verse 2]

Last week I realized I crave pity

When I retell a story, I make evеrything sound worse

Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at hеaling

And maybe that's the reason why each sentence sounds rehearsed

Which is ironic 'cause when I wasn't honest

I was still being ignored (Lying for attention, just to get neglection)

Now we're estranged


[Chorus]

Things I once enjoyed

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for

Someday, I'll be bored of

It's so weird, oh, it's so weird

That we care so much until we don't


[Verse 3]

I'm getting older, I've got more on my shoulders

But I'm getting better at admitting when I'm wrong

I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor

To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

'Cause, to be honest, I just wish that what I promise

Would depend on what I'm given (Not on his permission)

(Wasn't my decision) To be abused


[Chorus]

Things I once enjoyed (Ah)

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for (Ah)

Someday, I'll be bored of

It's so weird, so weird

Oh, we care so much, until we don't


[Bridge]

Yeah, oh, oh, oh, ooh

That we care so much

Until we don't


[Outro]

But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughing

For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine

I've had some trauma, felt things I didn't wanna

Was too afraid to tell ya, but now I think it's time
