I'm Only Fourteen

Intro

(Oh-oh) Fourteen...

(Why so old?)

Verse

Woke up this morning, mirror's lying to me

Frown lines creeping, where'd my baby face go?

Friends chasing boys, I'm dodging grown-up fees

Bills in the mail, Mom's stress on her sleeve

School halls feel small, like cages closing in

Laughs turn to sighs, yeah, the fun's wearing thin

Pre-chorus

Tick-tock, clock's mocking, hands won't slow down

Body's still young, but my head's wearing a crown

Of worries too heavy, too real, too soon

Screaming "stop!" but the years crash through

Chorus

I'm only fourteen! Getting older every day

Fourteen! But the weight won't fade away

Louder I cry, louder the ache inside

Fourteen! Why's life pulling me aside?

(Older, older) Every single day

(Older, older) Slipping away!

I'm only fourteen!

Verse

Parties feel fake, like I'm watching from afar

Dreams of forever, now cracked like a jar

Jeans don't fit right, world's spinning too fast

Pimples and pain, future's a blurry glass

They say "you're just a kid," but I feel the pull

Ancient inside, yeah, my spirit's half full

Pre-chorus

Tick-tock, louder now, heart's racing the sound

Youth in my veins, but my soul's underground

No more games, no more hiding the truth

Grown-up blues hit like a wrecking crew

Chorus

I'm only fourteen! Getting older every day

Fourteen! But the weight won't fade away

Louder I cry, louder the ache inside

Fourteen! Why's life pulling me aside?

(Older, older) Every single day

(Older, older) Slipping away!

I'm only fourteen! Getting older every day

Bridge

Ah-ah-ah, make it stop! (Stop!)

Woah-oh-oh, turn it back! (Back!)

Fourteen forever, don't wanna grow

Scream it out loud, let the whole world know!

(Hey! Hey!) I'm breaking free

From this old skin that's not even me!

Chorus

I'm only fourteen! Getting older every day

Fourteen! But the weight won't fade away

Louder I cry (louder!), louder the ache inside (ache!)

Fourteen! Why's life pulling me aside?

(Older, older) Every single day

(Older, older) Slipping away!

I'm only fourteen! (Fourteen!)

I'm only fourteen!

Outro

(Oh-oh) Fourteen...

Getting older... (older...)

Fourteen... (fade out)
