I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore (From “American Song Contest”)
Swore I was gonna marry the first guy I dated
Back when I had braces and love wasn't complicated
And now I stand at my friends' weddings
Wondering if I'll ever be ready
Thought there'd be nothing better than life in my 20s
Back when Nickelodeon at 10 a.m. was funny
But I'm noticing lately that
Most the time, I'm faking laughs
And I'm not quite sure when it happened
When living lost all of the magic
Am I learning or just hurting?
No, I'm not the girl I was before
Hair to my waist, I cut it short
Am I better off? I'm torn
But I don't takе pictures anymore
No, I'm not the girl I thought I was
Is pеssimism growing up?
Am I jaded? I'm not sure
But I don't take pictures anymore
No one else could stay out dancing long as I did
Now I'd rather stay home and hope I don't get invited
Am I changing or getting older?
Is the party already over?
And I'm not quite sure when it happened
When living lost all of the magic
Am I learning or just hurting?
No, I'm not the girl I was before
Hair to my waist, I cut it short
Am I better off? I'm torn
But I don't take pictures anymore
No, I'm not the girl I thought I was
Is pessimism growing up?
Am I jaded? I'm not sure
But I don't take pictures anymore
Done wasting nights behind a lens
Maybe it's fine if I forget
Guess I'm just waiting
For something worth framing
Yeah, what's the point of looking back
On memories just made for flash?
Guess I'm just waiting
For something worth framing
No, I'm not the girl I was before
Hair to my waist, I cut it short
Am I better off? I'm torn
But I don't take pictures anymore
No, I'm not the girl I thought I was
Is pessimism growing up?
Am I jaded? I'm not sure
But I don't take pictures anymore
Back when I had braces and love wasn't complicated
And now I stand at my friends' weddings
Wondering if I'll ever be ready
Thought there'd be nothing better than life in my 20s
Back when Nickelodeon at 10 a.m. was funny
But I'm noticing lately that
Most the time, I'm faking laughs
And I'm not quite sure when it happened

Am I jaded? I'm not sure
But I don't take pictures anymore
