They constantly told me
that my first love

would be a handsome boy
who'd save me

or a pretty girl
who'd hold me.

So I searched the world
for another,

never knowing that
my first love

should have been
me.

Someday you’ll miss her like she missed you. 
Someday you’ll need her like she needed you. 
Someday you’ll love her and she won’t love you.

We had been trying to be adults since we're 15
When we finally reached 18
nothing changed
It wasn't until we were lying on the
bathroom floor
Drunk and high in two different states
That we realized
Age is just a number
And reality is there is no such thing
as being an adults
You only grow older
         And if you're lucky
                Maybe a little wiser

You pretended that you were fine,
that was your problem.
You didn't tell anyone, you had it all bottled inside of you.
Acted like you were the happiest person in the world,
you had the perfect life
you were "happy",
everyone believed it,
even you started to believe it,
you were fine,
it was all fine,
until you were alone in your room, at night.
That's when the thoughts came flooding back.
