I reached for the stars But I blew up in space I didn't know what to say
I try so hard to follow my parents' footsteps I climb and climb but I fall Into the deepest depths of my existence I am foul, so weak and unknown
Maybe my failure will amount To something one day Or I'll live the rest of my life in Ireland And pretend nothing ever happened I'll hide in shame
I wasn't a kid, never was I took care of myself I raised myself But now, I am much older than I ever wanted to be
I reached for the sun But I burned my wings in the sky Fell down so high I almost died
I'm the kid they don't talk about at parties The friend people pretend don't exist I am there when I'm needed And I am gone when I'm not
I'm stuck as a six year old I wish I could play without paying bills I wish I could cry and have mommy wipe my tears I am much older than I ever wanted to be
