Sixteen
I feel no longer
A child
Yet young and free
I feel this weight
On my shoulders
Like I can't breathe
It's overwhelming
It's overwhelming me
I'm sick of being a grownup
By myself
I hate the way that I show up
With no one else
I'm drifting down
A painful stream
Cause I'm
16 going on 25
Living like I've got a developed mine
Yeah they treat me like I've chose this life
And I've fixed all of my broken bones
Lent them for fire pits
They use in their home
Yet I'm the one who's caught in the cold
4 walls ain't something
I'm used to
No privacy
I've learned that I
Can he angry
Just silently
Cause I know I'm loved
I just wanna be free
Free from
All of my issues
And history
Free from the pain
Of my bruises
They put on me
Free from the shackles
4 walls ain't something
I'm used to
no privacy
I've learned that I
Can he angry
Just silently
Cause I know I'm loved
I just wanna be free
16 going on 25
Living like I've got a developed mine
Yeah they treat me like I've chose this life
And I've fixed all of my broken bones
Lent them for fire pits
They use in their home
Yet I'm the one who's caught in the cold
Im 16 going on 17
I like reading books
And I hate being mean
But it happens
Cause I'm only a teen
I haven't lived this life before
I've made some mistakes
And I'll probably make more
But I'm human
And it's part of the norm
A child
Yet young and free
I feel this weight
On my shoulders
Like I can't breathe
It's overwhelming
It's overwhelming me
I'm sick of being a grownup
By myself
I hate the way that I show up
With no one else
I'm drifting down
A painful stream
Cause I'm
16 going on 25
Living like I've got a developed mine
Yeah they treat me like I've chose this life
And I've fixed all of my broken bones
Lent them for fire pits
They use in their home
Yet I'm the one who's caught in the cold
4 walls ain't something
I'm used to
No privacy
I've learned that I
Can he angry
Just silently
Cause I know I'm loved
I just wanna be free
Free from
All of my issues
And history
Free from the pain
Of my bruises
They put on me
Free from the shackles
4 walls ain't something
I'm used to
no privacy
I've learned that I
Can he angry
Just silently
Cause I know I'm loved
I just wanna be free
16 going on 25
Living like I've got a developed mine
Yeah they treat me like I've chose this life
And I've fixed all of my broken bones
Lent them for fire pits
They use in their home
Yet I'm the one who's caught in the cold
Im 16 going on 17
I like reading books
And I hate being mean
But it happens
Cause I'm only a teen
I haven't lived this life before
I've made some mistakes
And I'll probably make more
But I'm human
And it's part of the norm
