⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ɪɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ⚜ﻬ ] if you don't already know me, you can call me eva! i'm a 16 year old singer/songwriter. this is track 4 of my original album, єffσятℓєѕѕ. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ᴍᴇssᴀɢᴇ ⚜ﻬ ] a song about growing up and viewing the world differently. graduating high school has been such a eye-opening and sentimental experience. i can't believe how fast 4 years has passed by. don't take the little moments with your friends and family for granted ever!! also dedicated to @journiie who has been a huge inspiration to me and i'm sad she's leaving for college as well ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ʟʏʀɪᴄꜱ ⚜ﻬ ] VERSE 1 I used to think that growing up meant I’d be free I used to dream someone would understand me I used to think that I was the jealous type turns out I hated being left behind I used to think the mirror told me who I was I used to chase perfection on just because I used to pray so the hurt would get lighter now I carry it, but I’m getting stronger PRECHORUS nothing is how i thought it would be but now it’s all coming so clearly to me CHORUS I'm realizing the world isn't as perfect as it seems in my head an imaginary dream I'm having so much trouble knowing who I am but I make myself more than what I seem VERSE 2 I used to think that silence meant I was wrong I used to stay where I didn’t feel like I belonged I used to fold my voice into spaces so I wouldn’t take up too many places I used to wait for a sign to tell me to “stay” or a reason to finally walk away now I see that you can't judge a cover they mean well, but it's not like a shelter PRECHORUS nothing is how i thought it would be but now it’s all coming so clearly to me CHORUS I'm realizing the world isn't as perfect as it seems in my head an imaginary dream I'm having so much trouble knowing who I am but I make myself more than what I seem BRIDGE bent myself to fit a line damage is redundant along my spine now I'm easing out of fear it takes a while I don't have it sorted out tonight I'm realizing CHORUS I'm realizing the world isn't as perfect as it seems in my head an imaginary dream I'm having so much trouble knowing who I am but I make myself more than what I seem OUTRO nothing is how i thought it would be but now it’s all coming so clearly to me ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛꜱ ⚜ﻬ ] i made all the melodies, harmonies, background vocals, and lyrics! producing credits go to y2be ᝰ ( except lyrics on the chorus go to the wonderful ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ʟɪɴᴋꜱ ⚜ﻬ ] youtube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL42JJ4zjHdflgbt53eSbwq8RNAiL4eiP5&si=7Zlfz8C4q0TVK7R3 youtube music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL42JJ4zjHdflgbt53eSbwq8RNAiL4eiP5&si=NO-xAV1sV2MrulPo scratch studio: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ ﻬ⚜ ᴛᴀɢꜱ ⚜ﻬ ]
