Because
i used to be the type of kid who would find joy in all things
but somewhere along the way i became the type of kid who’d always think the sky’s falling
and i'd wonder why i was so differently wired, why i never seemed to fit in
finding belonging’s kinda hard when everyone’s always frontin
always stuntin like they’ve got something to prove
but maybe that's why everybody acts a fool
and just to be honest with you, i’ll include myself in that too
cos hiding’s child’s play, and I’m just another actor who got good at smiling every day
Because
i used to be the type of kid who’d always think the sky’s falling
kinda hard not to when shit never seems to stop happening
but men can’t talk, so we just smile and wave
just remember people don’t fake depression, but it’s easy to fake being okay
so all i can say is please forgive me for having contemplated being gone one day
Because
I used to be the type of kid who’d always think the sky’s falling
and I’m only just now realising that being differently wired’s awesome
that the best part about me is I am not you
I’m me
one of a kind in a full house, you see
it might still be a mess, but there’s finally room for life
who might be bit of a b*tch, but she’s kinda becoming my type
and even her flaws are starting to look gorgeous
so f*ck raging against the dying of the light
I’m the type of kid who can make my own,
here let me show you, I promise it’s a beautiful sight.
