ADULT GIRL Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 dig her grave?

[Pre-Chorus]

The teenage years I never lived

The innocence of high school kids

Young romance and endless nights

Of carefree joy and pure delight

[Chorus]

Didn't grow up in a normal world

And now I'm just an adult girl

[Verse 2]

Now I'm too old to die young, but at least I had some fun

Spent my twenties on the run drеaming of suicide and love

Think I'm stuck somewhеre between childhood and va-va-voom

Always cycling in between existential dread and doom

[Pre-Chorus]

Messy, numb, razors and knives

Missed arteries and blacked-out nights

Kittens, mittens, plushie toys

Bows and hearts and sullen boys

[Chorus]

Robbed me of a teenage world

Now I'm just an adult girl

An adult girl

[Bridge]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

All the things I lost and loved

Swept them underneath the rug

Like a child, I wait and hope

You might repair the things you broke

[Chorus]

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
