Just turned 18
And I don’t really know what that means
I still got the same anxiety
I feel so controlled by society

And my friends
They all seem to know what they wanna be
Got their lives planned five years ahead of me
And I don’t even know ‘bout next week

Sometimes when I
Think ahead
It pulls the string
Around my chest
To young to know
How to live
To old to be a kid
I just turned 18
And I don’t want the world to change me
It doesn’t take a lot to break me

‘Cause I don’t recognise me lately
I just turned 18
But one more year of this world turning
Is just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting
Just turned 18
Just turned 18
And I don’t really know what that means
I still got the same anxiety
I feel so controlled by society
Yeah yeah

I just turned 18
And I don’t want the world to change me
It doesn’t take a lot to break me
‘Cause I don’t recognise me lately

I just turned 18
But one more year of this world turning
Is just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting
Just turned 18
(Happy birthday to me)
Just turned 18
(Happy birthday to me)
Just turned 18
