I want to be young again 

I want to be 8 again 

I want to be young when the world didn't hate me 

I want to feel like I matter 

I want to feel like I belong in this world

I want to not feel lost 

I want to be happy again

what happened 

what happened to this world 

as we get older things fall apart 

they start with small simple things like looks 

we grow up look different and change 

thats not the problem

Sure I hate the way I look but that never really bugs me  

After looks it targets our friends 

you start to lose everyone

who do I trust

Who are you to me now 

suddenly you're screaming at me 

suddenly you hate me 

suddenly I'm nothing to you

I just want to be young 

young again 

I want to be 6 when I could smile without it being a mask 

I want to not have to hide 

I want to feel cared about 

I want to feel like I'm not another face in the class 

I want to be young again 

I want to not cry every night 

I want to walk into school and sigh a sigh of happiness not fear

I want to be young again 

I want to be 7 when I wasn't told to get out of this phase 

I get told that it's just a phase 

They tell me I'm not a boy 

They tell me I'm a girl 

They tell me to take off the bow from around my neck and stick it in my hair 

They tell me to stop binding my chest and to breathe 

They tell me to smile

I want to be 8 when I didn't cry myself to sleep every night

I Don't wanna cry 

I want to be happy 

You maybe wonder what happened to me 

well I grew up 

I want to be young again
