basically I've been hella inspired by IU's song, 23, and wrote about what growing up feels like from my point of view!
so yes, it's another long song except this time it's not gay
well not completely

When you look at me

What do you think?

Oh I know, I bet you're curious

 

When you look at me

You probably get confused easily

Because you don't understand

 

I don't either

 

I'm still young and cheerful 

A very long way ahead

But when did I become so tired and old?

 

You can say what you want

To be honest I don't really care

I'm not the type of person

Who's bothered by words

 

I'm not really easily hurt

But actually the truth is that I care a lot

 

I've always looked up to others

But when I think about who I love

I guess a definite answer is too much

 

And they act surprised

When I tell them that

 

When people look at me

They can't guess at all

Did anyone ever tell you

That not everything has to fit your standards?

 

Actually I don't know too much

Inside my head, I have so many thoughts

But people expect me to choose just one

 

Am I a nice girl? Or am I self-centered?

You don't know, no you don't

But you wish you did

 

Go ahead and say what you want

At the end of the day it doesn't matter at all

I'm really just two sides of the same coin

 

Hey now, I've always been told

Living a comfortable life is the goal

That's what I heard the most

But who knows

 

How lovely is a person's smile

But when they cross the road

I wonder if they even feel the happiness they show

 

I'm not very good when it comes to people

But for some reason, I'm well-loved

 

I always thought

That I want to live for long

But now I'm thinking about death

 

And they can't understand

When I tell them that

 

When people look at me

They can't guess at all

Did anyone ever tell you

That not everything has to fit your standards?

 

Actually I don't know too much

Inside my head, I have so many thoughts

But people expect me to choose just one

 

Am I a nice girl? Or am I self-centered?

You don't know, no you don't

But you wish you did

 

Go ahead and say what you want

At the end of the day it doesn't matter at all

I'm really just two sides of the same coin

 

Can I be nastier than usual?

I know everything there is to know

But the truth is I'm innocent down to my core

I've kissed many or never any girls before

 

Have you guessed the answer?

Are you correct?

 

When people look at me

They can't guess at all

Did anyone ever tell you

That not everything has to fit your standards?

 

Actually I don't know too much

Inside my head, I have so many thoughts

But people expect me to choose just one

 

Am I a nice girl? Or am I self-centered?

You don't know, no you don't

But you wish you did

 

Go ahead and say what you want

At the end of the day it doesn't matter at all

I'm really just two sides of the same coin
