Lately, I been letting things break me
But I'm fine now, got my head out the clouds
Hate me, almost let the world make me
Now they wanna find out how I'm making it out

Well, it seems that it don't make sense
To go on like we know and pretend
'Cause I'm running through all the plans I used to have
And how they didn't work out, and yet I'm better off now

Thirteen, dreaming of a wedding ring
Can't wait to throw a bouquet
Fast forward, I don't know anything
But I say, "I'm doing okay"
Man, I wish we could laugh and dance all night
But I guess we don't have that kind of time
Growing up's really messing with my mind
But evеrything will be alright

Seventeen was a teenagе nightmare
Terrified of how things will turn out this time
Twenty-three, threw myself back out there
Twenty-five, and it seems I'm doing just fine

Dear old me, don't look back
There's so much that you have ahead of you
I never thought it'd go the way it's going now, baby
I learned to love the way you stand out from the crowd
And I know broken wings can still learn to fly
I'm your living proof 'cause I'm flying
Don't give up when things don't go right
Everything is imperfect timing
Dear old me, don't give in
You're more than where you've been, yeah

Thirteen, dreaming of a wedding ring
Can't wait to throw a bouquet
Fast forward, I don't know anything
But I say, "I'm doing okay"
Man, I wish we could laugh and dance all night
But I guess we don't have that kind of time
Growing up's really messing with my mind
But everything will be alright

Seventeen was a teenage nightmare
Terrified of how things will turn out this time
Twenty-three, threw myself back out there
Twenty-five, and it seems I'm doing just fine
