Can the future just wait?

Maybe a little longer

Cause I swear that I am already grown

I've been grown since I was young

So why can't

the future just wait

I swear I'm suffocating

Water filling my lungs

So I'm always trying to take deep breaths

But I don't know

Where to go from here

You were never quite around

You were up and I was down

I only ever had myself

And that's why I had to grow

As a little girl with pig tails, my god

I was twenty years old

Can the future just wait?

Cause growing young never helped me

You never even helped me prepare

For the things that would scare me

I was always left by myself
