Older
My juicebox turned to whisky
Lolipops to cigarettes
This is getting too risky
And I'm starting to regret
I remember little me, sitting in that stroller
Grinning ear to ear, waiting to get older
I miss the days where I was carefree
When the scariest thing about boys were cooties
I miss my wrists covered in bracelets instead of scars
I miss dreaming to live under the stars
Now, I just dream for it all to stop
While I sit here, alone, on my rooftop
