kayla says she's proud of me
i guess i know what she means
i just wanna be
all grown up + pretty
i wish i was like sydney
in love with the city
she keeps all my secrets
she knows all my regrets
sometimes i can't get out of bed
think ill cry all day instead
get all bitter over my luck
call mom hi, what the fuck
i wish i was still a little kid
reckless and stupid
now im 19 + cynical
work cry sleep so cyclical
i listen to a lot of frankie
reminds me its ok to hate me
im the kinda girl
who doesn't care

the world can be a pretty ugly place
for a girl like me
wake up in the mornin was my face
n brush my teeth
dont think i quite understand how it all works
some think theres one big ol Plan
for me it just hurts
the world can be a pretty ugly place
when youre not happy
get up ride the subway
shuffle down the street
dont think i quite understand how it all works
is there really anything quite better than
livin on, high alert
i lived in a pretty ugly place
a bad reality
realized life is one big race
+ i got to my feet
who knows, who really understands how it all works
life's too short to demand
an avoidance of sense of self worth
the world can be a pretty ugly place
for a girl like me
but im tired of sulking wasting space
that's just not for me

tell me how are you in this
chapter of your life
seems to me we only speak when ur
presented with a sleepless night
raspberries on ur tongue
n kisses on my cheek
things i used to hold so dear
have become just memories
we've come so far from our reckless youth
found ourselves among the mess of me n u
ive fucked up n put ppl through hell
im learning how to live here with myself
writing a letter with an
abundance of apologies
take responsibility for all the times i
let u bleed
learning to live for
me n no one else
+ now when i fuck up i
know its ok to ask for help
i am a simple girl
small n incomplete
live in this great big world
seems ur all out to get me
