      C
I can let go of the flower, now my power has returned
      Dm
I can look back at the past, now I see what I have learned
       C
Try my best to act my age, but the child won't behave
             Dm
She wants to scream and cry and rage, and who am I to dig her grave?

Pre-Chorus:
    Dm
The teenage years I never lived

The innocence of high school kids

Young romance and endless nights
   Am               G
Of carefree joy and pure delight

Now I'm too old to die young, but at least I had some fun

Spent my twenties on the run drеaming of suicide and love

Think I'm stuck somewhеre between childhood and va-va-voom

Always cycling in between existential dread and doom

Messy, numb, razors and knives

Bows and hearts and sullen boys

Someone, tell me how to heal the terror livin' inside me

All the things I lost and loved

Swept them underneath the rug

You might repair the things you broke

Now I understand the world
