Intro I’m gettin’ older I think I’m agin’ well I wish someone had told me I’d be doin’ this by myself There’s reasons that I’m thankful There’s a lot I’m grateful for But it’s different when a stranger is Always waitin’ at your door Which is ironic ’cause the strangers seem to Want me more Than anyone before (anyone before) Too bad they’re usually deranged Last week I realized I crave pity When I re-tell a story I make everything sound worse Can’t shake the feeling That I’m just bad at healing And maybe that’s the reason every sentence Sounds rehearsed Which is ironic because when I wasn’t honest I was still bein’ ignored (lyin’ for attention just to get neglection) Now we’re estranged Things I once enjoyed Just keep me employed now Things I’m longing for Someday I’ll be bored of E|t’s| so we-------------ird That we care so much until we don’t I’m gettin’ older I’ve got more on my shoulders But I’m gettin’ better at admitting When I’m wrong I’m happier than ever At least that’s my endeavor To keep myself together and prioritize My pleasure ’Cause to be honest I just wished the word I promised Would depend on what I’m givin’ (not on his permission) (Wasn’t my decision) To be abused hmm Things I once enjoyed Just keep me employed now mm Things I’m longing for Someday I’ll be bored of E|t’s| so we-------------ird That we care so much until we don’t But next week I hope I’m somewhere laughin’ For anybody asking I promise I’ll be fine I’ve had some trauma did things I didn’t wanna Was too afraid to tell ya But now I think it’s time

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque ce sentiment de solitude et de réflexion qu'apporte le vieillissement. L’artiste parle de la prise de conscience de sa propre vulnérabilité et de son besoin de reconnaissance, tout en faisant face à ses démons intérieurs. Elle exprime un mélange de gratitude pour certaines expériences, tout en se rendant compte qu’elle a souvent besoin de l’attention des autres, même si cela la conduit à des situations difficiles. Dans un monde qui semble souvent ironique, elle note que les strangers, ou ces inconnus, semblent plus intéressés par elle que ceux qui l'entouraient autrefois. C’est un cheminement vers l’acceptation de soi, où elle aspire à changer et à devenir plus honnête, tout en s'efforçant de trouver un équilibre dans sa vie et ses plaisirs.
