Lyrics

You were right
I'm just a kid who can't write
Right?
Talk too much, think too fast
Say "I'm fine" like it's fact

You were right
I don't know when to shut my mouth
Or how
Turn every thought to a joke
If I'm laughing maybe I won't choke

I got big words, no direction
Fake deep thoughts, mild depression
Call it art, call it fear
Call my mom like "I'm okay here"

[Chorus]
You were right
I'm a mess in better light
Say I'm grown but I still hide
From real life
You were right
I just dress it up real nice
Tell the truth but say it twice
So it sounds like a lie

I write songs I won't release
For a crowd that isn't me
I want love, I want fame
I want out, I want safe

I scroll hope til I'm numb
Call it healing, call it fun
If I'm honest for a sec
I'm terrified of what's next

Maybe I'm not broken
Maybe I'm just loud
Maybe if I shut up
I'd figure something out

[Chorus]
You were right
I'm just trying to survive
In a world that's way too bright
For my eyes
You were right
I don't need another sign
I just need a little time
To be alive

[Outro]
You were right
…Right?
