[Verse 1] They call it sweet sixteen But it’s not as easy as it seems I’m drowning, trying to breathe Overwhelmed, can't find relief People telling me what’s wrong or right But none of it’s real, it’s just a fight They laugh no matter what I do Like existing’s a crime I didn’t choose [Pre-Chorus] No matter how I look or act They always find something I lack Wish they could just cut me some slack I'm breaking down, can’t take it back [Chorus] Just because I can drive a car Doesn’t mean I’ve come that far With age comes responsibility But I’m still stuck in yesterday Stressing over every grade Feels like this will dig my grave One day I’m flying high in the sky Next I’m wondering why I’m alive [Verse 2] My mind’s a room with no one inside Feels like all my thoughts have died Hard to be proud of who I am Shaking hands, I can barely stand Hate what I do, even when I try Can’t stop myself from asking why [Bridge] They said these years would be the best But they just feel like one long test Can’t find peace, can’t find rest Still hoping one day I’ll feel blessed [Final Chorus] Just because I can drive a car Doesn’t mean I’ve healed the scars With age comes reality And I’m drowning in anxiety One day I’m laughing with my friends Next I’m praying that the pain just ends They call it sweet sixteen But it’s not as easy as it seems.
