Saturday Demos 1 ~"I guess this is me... so this is 13"~ Hi! Welcome to the first project of my new series, Saturday Demos. Because I haven't been motivated to record/edit lately, his recording is not edited at all and is just me singing and playing guitar on my bedroom floor, so it's far from perfect (and the audio quality isn't great), but that's kind of the point! :) I'll try to release a project like this one every Saturday, and if there are any songs that a lot of people like, I'll record/release the non-demo versions. I wrote this specific song the day before my 13th birthday about how my younger self expected to feel "different" when she became a teenager, but nothing really changed about me when I turned 13. So... it's not the most optimistic song, but I personally like it, and I hope you do, too! :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Lyrics: Verse 1- I've tried to be a believer in new beginnings I've gotta grow up someday and this might be it, but the fresh start comes and I feel too young for my age I'm too weird to make friends and too soft to be brave, and I'm too much of a perfectionist to learn from my mistakes Chorus- At 13, I always thought I'd be a better person, that the little things would hurt me less 13, I really thought I'd be more perfect, different, but I just feel like a little kid still, so I guess this is me so this is 13 Verse 2- I tend to overthink too much about my life I'm surprised I'm ever happy 'cause I'm worried half the time (it's not even my fault) The failure comes and it lingers in my mind for way too long, and I'm too tired to try Now my birthday is tomorrow, and just look at where I am Chorus- At 13, I always thought I'd be a better person, that the little things would hurt me less 13, I really thought I'd be more perfect, different, but I just feel like a little kid still, so I guess this is me so this is 13 Bridge- I thought I'd wake up and magically feel more okay I've just gotten bored of staying the same I want to say I feel so much more confident today, but even though I wished, I kind of knew nothing would change nothing has changed Verse 3- The same pictures hang on my walls I still have the same dreams I'm never going to follow I guess I'm still just too nervous I don't have enough courage to be Final Chorus- At 13, I always thought I'd be a better person, that the little things would hurt me less 13, I really thought I'd be more perfect, different, but I just feel like a little kid still, so I guess this is me so this is waiting for myself to be less alone, to have more company so this is 13 (it's not even my fault) (how could I ever be what they want?) (it's not even my fault) (how could I ever be who I want?) (how could I ever not) (be stuck in my thoughts?) So this is 13 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Credits: ✩ Background Music- (me) ✩ Lyrics- Me! ✩ Thumbnail- Made on Canva by me ✩ Code - Me
