Getting Older

Composed by：Billie Eilish O'Connell/Finneas Baird O'Connell

It's so weird

I'm getting older I think I'm aging well

I wish someone had told me I'd be doing this by myself

There's reasons that I'm thankful there's a lot I'm grateful for

But it's different when a stranger's always waiting at your door

Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more

Than anyone before

Anyone before

Too bad they're usually deranged

Last week I realized I crave pity

When I retell a story I make everything sound worse

Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing

And maybe that's the reason why each sentence sounds rehearsed

Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest

I was still being ignored

Lying for attention just to get neglection

Now we're estranged

Things I once enjoyed

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for

Someday I'll be bored of

It's so weird oh it's so weird

That we care so much until we don't

I'm getting older I've got more on my shoulders

But I'm getting better at admitting when I'm wrong

I'm happier than ever at least that's my endeavor

To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

'Cause to be honest I just wish that what I promise

Would depend on what I'm given

Not on his permission

Wasn't my decision

To be abused

Things I once enjoyed

Ah

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for

Ah

Someday I'll be bored of

It's so weird so weird

Oh we care so much until we don't

Yeah oh oh oh ooh

That we care so much

Until we don't

But next week I hope I'm somewhere laughing

For anybody asking I promise I'll be fine

I've had some trauma felt things I didn't wanna

Was too afraid to tell ya but now I think it's time
