[Intro]
Blue eyes
Hair tied, hoodie
Steam from the cup
Staring through me
[Verse 1]
I was drownin' in his promises
All caps text, empty compliments
Mama fightin' with her shadow still
Daddy drinkin' ’stead of payin' bills
I grew up readin' weather in they faces
Storm in the kitchen, thunder in the basement
I was patchin' up they broken, I was twenty-three
Too young to carry curses that ain’t come from me
Now I’m solo at the counter, slurpin' ramen in a bowl
Spicy like my temper when I finally let it go
Cherry blossoms on my screen, flights I wanna book
New stamp in my passport, new pages in the book (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m done cryin' in the same old town
Waterfalls wash these heartbreaks out
Roses grow where I lay my doubts
Petals on the floor when I step out (step out)
I got cherry blossoms in my mind
Ramen for the pain I keep inside
Twenty-three and I’m done bein' blind
I’m a blue-eyed storm with a sunrise smile
[Verse 2]
Used to beg for his attention
Now I ghost him like a mansion left abandoned
Scrollin' through his page like, “This who had me stressin’?”
He a lesson, not a blessing, I ain’t miss him for a second
Therapist talkin', I’m noddin', I’m learnin'
Family tree twisted, but my roots still turnin'
I’m plantin' what I wanted as a kid in my chest
Roses by the window where I finally rest (yeah)
I book a lil trip where the water falls hard
Stand under all that power, let it soften my heart
Healed girl drip, no mascara on my cheek
Just gloss on my lip and new word when I speak: “free”
[Chorus]
I’m done cryin' in the same old town
Waterfalls wash these heartbreaks out
Roses grow where I lay my doubts
Petals on the floor when I step out (step out)
I got cherry blossoms in my mind
Ramen for the pain I keep inside
Twenty-three and I’m done bein' blind
I’m a blue-eyed storm with a sunrise smile
[Bridge]
To my younger self
You can drop that weight
You are not they mess
You are not his games
Buy yourself those flowers
Book yourself that plane
Eat your little noodles
Laugh through all the rain (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m done cryin' in the same old town
Waterfalls wash these heartbreaks out
Roses grow where I lay my doubts
Petals on the floor when I step out (step out)
I got cherry blossoms in my mind
Ramen for the pain I keep inside
Twenty-three and I’m done bein' blind
I’m a blue-eyed storm with a sunrise smile (yeah)
