Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They say I’m "mature," like it’s a trophy to hold But it’s just a word for a girl who grew old— Too fast, too soon, in a house made of glass Watching the shadows and the ghosts as they pass. Every choice that I make feels like stepping on wire Am I moving ahead or just fueling the fire? If I trip, if I fall, if I lose my own way Is there room for a girl to be human today? [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of being the one with the plan The steady-eyed daughter with the world in her hand. What if I’m lost? What if I’m wrong? What if I’m tired of being this strong? [Chorus] Is it a crime to make a mistake? To be the one heart that’s allowed to just break? You call me "mature" like I had a choice But you’re the ones who stole the sound of my voice. I’m twenty years deep in a life I didn't sign for Wondering what exactly I’m still on the line for. I’m lost in the middle, I’m wronged by the past And I’m wondering how long this "maturity" lasts. [Verse 2] The world wants a saint, and my mom wants a shield But I’m just a girl in a battlefield. I look at the sky and I ask for a sign But the only answers I find are all mine. Am I failing because I don't feel like a queen? Or is this just the space in the "somewhere between"? I’m allowed to be messy, I’m allowed to be small I’m allowed to be nothing or nothing at all. [Bridge] (The beat gets louder, more rhythmic and catchy) "Mature" is just code for "You survived the trauma." "Mature" is just code for "You handled the drama." But what about me? What about what I need? Is anyone watching the girl as she bleeds? (Vocal belting) I’m just human! I’m just twenty! I’ve had enough and I’ve had plenty! [Chorus] Is it a crime to make a mistake? To be the one heart that’s allowed to just break? You call me "mature" like I had a choice But you’re the ones who stole the sound of my voice. I’m twenty years deep in a life I didn't sign for Wondering what exactly I’m still on the line for. I’m lost in the middle, I’m wronged by the past And I’m wondering how long this "maturity" lasts. [Outro] (Music strips back to a simple, dark bass pulse) Maybe I’ll fail. Maybe I’ll fall. Maybe "mature" doesn't mean anything at all. I’m just living. Finally. (A soft, melodic hum that lingers)
