[Verse]
You call it a storm but it's my sky
Telling me to grow up while I just ask why
My hoodie hides the truth you don’t wanna see
This isn’t a costume it’s the real me
[Chorus]
It’s not a phase mom it’s who I am
Not a broken lamp just a shattered gem
Stop trying to fix me with your plans
It’s not a phase mom it’s who I am
[Verse 2]
Posters peeling like my patience is too
You bought me khakis but I’ll never wear blue
I’m not your reflection I’m a cracked glass
You keep looking forward I’m stuck in the past
[Prechorus]
Don’t say I’ll outgrow this
Don’t say it’ll fade
I’m not a passing shadow
I’m a storm you made
[Chorus]
It’s not a phase mom it’s who I am
Not a broken lamp just a shattered gem
Stop trying to fix me with your plans
It’s not a phase mom it’s who I am
[Bridge]
What if I like the rain more than the sun
What if the darkness is where I run
What if the person you want me to be
Is nothing like the real me
