[Verse 1]

It’s not child’s play anymore

Everything’s changed, it’s not the same

From when we were younger

Not ready at all to carry the weight

Just wanna stay home, playing video games

Not ready at all to step in myself

Learned nothing at school, always had junk food


[Pre-Chorus]

With knowledge comes unwanted responsibilities

Though age just a number, it’s not quite judgement-free

Nothing’s quite judgement-free


[Chorus]

When did I grow up, step out of my youth?

Time went by so fast, what did I do?

How am I here, where do I go? I have learned nothing at all

I wanna be safe with no worries in my little birdcage


[Verse 2]

I used to roam around freely, nothing stoppin’ me then

Just did whatever I want, fooled around with friends

Now that I’m somewhat older

Gotta have unwanted composure


[Verse 3]

The way people think about it

Suddenly, everyone’s judging me

How can I shift all the focus?

Cause it feels like all eyes on me


[Pre-Chorus]

With knowledge comes unwanted responsibilities

Though age just a number, it’s not quite judgement-free

Nothing’s quite judgement-free


[Chorus]

When did I grow up, step out of my youth?

Time went by so fast, what did I do?

How am I here, where do I go? I have learned nothing at all

I wanna be safe with no worries in my little birdcage


[Outro]

Don’t need to fly away, don’t need to spread my wings

Just wanna be secure in my own little space

Don’t need to be so far from where I was raised

Just wanna be with family for the rest of my days

Don’t need to fly away, don’t need to spread my wings

Just wanna be secure in my own little space

Don’t need to be so far from where I was raised

Just wanna be with family for the rest of my days
