Billie Eilish Song Lyrics

Getting Older

I'm getting older
I think aging well
I wish someone had told me
Id be doing this by myself
There's reasons that I thankful
There's a lot I'm grateful for
But it's different when a stranger's always waiting at your door
Which is ironic
Cause the strangers seem to want me more than anyone before
(Anyone before)
Too bad their usually deranged

Last week
I realized I crave pity
When I retell 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 being ignored
(Lying 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
It's so weird
That we care so much
Until we don't

I'm getting older
I've got more on my shoulders
But I'm getting 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 wish that what I promise would depend on what I'm given
(Not on his permission)
(Wasn't my decision)
To be abused
Mm

Things I once enjoyed
Just keep me employed now
Things I'm longing for
Someday I'll be bored of
It's so weird
That we care so much
Until we don't

But next week
I hope I'm somewhere laughing
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
