Paper girl Painted smile Say I'm fine but Haven't meant it in a while Laugh it off Make a joke Cover up the sadness Living in my bones 'Cause I want to be On the other side Looking back at the dark times Talking about how I made It through the rain again But I'm scared of how Long I've been Trying to wait out the Storm I'm in And there's no relief in sight When I got older I thought I'd be wiser Thought I'd have more answers Than questions by now But I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing How long will it take me To figure it out? Sensitive As a kid Never sure of where Exactly I fit in Wore my heart On display Took for granted I would toughen up someday So why am I still So defined By the need to be well-liked Letting everybody else Determine what I'm worth Set myself up To get hurt Wonder how much I deserve At war with my own mind When I got older I thought I'd be wiser Thought I'd have more answers Than questions by now But I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing How long will it take me To figure it out? And whatever happened To the life I was promised? Told I could be anything If I work the hardest Instead I was handed A world that's so broken And you act surprised when I say it seems hopeless When I got older I thought I'd be wiser Thought I'd have more answers Than questions by now But I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing How long will it take me To figure it out?
