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 a string around my chest
Too young to know how to live
Too 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
Oh, one more year of this world turning
It's just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting
Just turned 18
I'm off-track
Gotta wish that I could go back
And live another day in my past
Calling to my youth
Sometimes when I think ahead
It pulls a string around my chest
Too young to know how to live
Too 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
Oh, one more year of this world turning
It's just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting
Just turned 18
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 don't recognise me lately)
I just turned 18
Oh, one more year of this world turning
It's 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
