about

i'm releasing this from treatment because why not

lyrics

I don’t really know
who I’m meant to be
never thought I’d make it here
but I'm in my twenties
will I still feel like a teen
if make up all of those years
hiding from my memories

but last night I looked in the mirror
and I recognized my face
for the first time things looked clearer
I saw a future past this place
just look how far we’ve come
and progress isn’t done
but I’ll keep up the pace

I remember the feeling
laying down in my bed
stuck in space with my mind reeling
wishing I was dead instead

when you’re looking for a reason to stay
just know you’ve made it through all your hardest days
and there’s still time to find out who you’re meant to be

I’m still hung up on
who I used to be
can’t let go of elementary school
and some spelling bees
and things I shouldn’t’ve have said
still buzz around my head
when I try to sleep

last week I found a letter
written to my older self
in it I hoped I would get better
and my friends would just as well
I don’t know when we’ll be fine
but it gets better with some time
once I learn to ask for help

I don’t who I’m meant to be
and sticking around to find out scares me
but the truth is
whatever I’ve been through
someone else has been there too

I don’t who I’m meant to be
and sticking around to find out scares me
but the good news is
whatever you’ve been through
someone else has been there too
and they can help, so

You’re not alone
I’ll stay here with you
through highs and lows
and watch you become who
you’re meant to be
oh I need you next to me
I want to see you grow

I remember the feeling
laying down in my bed
stuck in space with my mind reeling
wishing I was dead instead

when you’re looking for a reason to stay
just know you’ve made it through all your hardest days
and there’s still time to find out who you’re meant to be
