.✦ ݁˖ INTRO .✦ ݁˖ Hey y'all!! If you don't know me, my (nick)name is Elle!!! I'm just some random 14 year old girl you found online who likes to post original songs, albums/eps, and covers XD what are the chances?? you're the luckiest person alive rn!!! :D .✦ ݁˖ SONG BACKSTORY!!! .✦ ݁˖ this song is abt how one of my friends started believing in smth i strongly disapproved in when something traumatic happened to her. i dunno all the details but i haven't (and won't) bother(ed) to ask. its ok tho--we're good now and shes back on track XD still, i wrote this song in that moment and i just need it in the album :) .✦ ݁˖ THE DATE .✦ ݁˖ I wrote the chorus on ~MARCH 13, 2026~ and the rest on ~MARCH 16, 2026~ .✦ ݁˖ FUN FACT(S)!! .✦ ݁˖ 1.) it was kinda hard to write a song about this!! it took me 2 or 3 tries to get the chorus :/ 2.) there was supposed to be a reprise, but i scratched it out and added a bit of it to the song XDD 3.) I DONT PLAY GUITAR!!!! is it that obvious?? i know easy chords and i only know how to finger pick ONE song (Can't Catch Me Now) but other than that, i dont XD 4.) I wrote the chorus & melody in the middle of one of my classes, lol. i hadn't done that in a while, so it was kinda nice :)) 5.) I wrote the chorus the day I released Light. Yay? 6.) ALTERNATIVE SONG TITLES (since i was struggling with song titles): "I'm Concerned About You" "I'm Worried About You" "Are You Okay?" "You were that, You are this" (waiitttt i really like thatt XD) "Star" (since i referred to her as a star, i think) #tension #GIRLS #single #song #music #singer
.✦ ݁˖ LYRICS .✦ ݁˖ [v1] You were a happy girl who had a purpose Your light was bright and you were an optimist Your smile was real, like, you could light a lighthouse But now you've slowly changed and I don't even know how You were the kind of girl who, when people were down Picked them up happily, got their frown upside But now, that frown is on you And when you're happy, it's cuz of someone who's not true [pc] You were a bright light, you were a star people saw you shining from afar but now that star has died, and who's come to life is a fake, who's not who you are [c1] Girl, you've lost who you are Now you're stuck in the dark this just feels like a bad dream Are you okay? that, it don't seem Can we still be friends? I dunno, I feel tension Your only source of happiness is fictional, I feel anxious [v2] You used to believe the good, now you don't read the news tossed the paper in the trash, said "sorry, but im good!!!" what is wrong with yoU???? how can you not see the truth?? ooooh???? and now you only smile only cuz of your phone you used to laugh, smile, make real funny jokes but nooooo, that's not you anymore. oh-oh [c2] Girl, you've lost who you are Now you're stuck in the dark this just feels like a bad dream Are you okay? that, it don't seem What will happen next? Like, I can feel the tension Does your life feel pointless? I'm scared for you, I'm anxious [b] i cant help, im no help i dunno how to help im not a good friend, leaving you just like this But I dunno Is it too late to bring you hoome? God, please tell me so [c3] Girl, you've lost who you are Now you're stuck in the dark this just feels like a bad dream Are you okay? that, it don't seem Can we still be friends? I dunno, I feel tension Your only source of happiness is fictional, I feel anxious [final-c] Girl, you think you know who you are but you're still stuck in the dark You are giving me bad dreams not everything is as it seems What will happen next? Like, I can feel the tension Does your life feel pointless? I'm scared for you, I'm anxious
