Thirteen Lyrics

I've been around for a minute

I've been sleeping on the grass

Sneaking out of class

Testing boundaries and limits

Tried to make my mama laugh

Make the moments last

I'm the master of mimic

The only one I can't please is myself

I'm a shell

I can smile in a heartbeat

I try to hide the pain

Cope to find a way

But when I'm alone with the music

I am singing out my heart

Seeing all my scars

When I am alone with the music

A song feels just like sunlight on my skin

I soak it in

And I know

I am on my own

When it comes to show

My will to welcome all my ghosts

To live with them and be their host

And you feel them too

They are in the room

They're in my head and veins, they're a part of me

There's no remedy

It's easy to lose faith in fear

It's easy to break down in tears

From the pain

That you felt a long time ago

When you pushed

Your hurt and your feelings aside

It's harder to heal when you hide

From the pain

That you felt a long time ago


When you were only thirteen

I've been told that I'm different

Tried to fit in with the rest

Always second-guessed

Cause I never know where I'm standing

Wish I was a tree

Rooted in the deep dark ground

No limits

Cause people pleasing's just waste of time

For my peace of mind

And I know

I'mma find a way

Differentiate

Between what's now and what's passé

Cause all my ghosts are here to stay

And a voice is saying I am heard

Worthy of a world

Where friends will hold my hand

Through pain and fear

Till it dissappears

It's easy to lose faith in fear

Easy to break down in tears

From the pain

That you felt a long time ago

When you pushed

Your hurt and your feelings aside

Harder to heal when you hide

From the pain

That you felt a long time ago


When you were only thirteen

Huh

Huh

Huh

You were only thirteen yeah

Huh

Huh

Huh

Huh uhh uhh
