I'm caught up in the everyday trend

Tied up by invisible thread

Walking down a razor-thin edge

And I wake up tired think I'm better off dead

Been a few months since I crossed over state lines

Talk to my mom fake smiles over FaceTime

Drink all night till I can't walk a straight line

Feel so low but I'm high at the same time

I can't keep my feet on the ground

And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

I'm hoping that someone comes around

And helps me figure it out

I think that I should try to kill my ego

'Cause if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm acting like a ******* baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Still a little kid that can't make friends

Wanna be invited but I won't attend

I been having bad dreams my career could end

'Cause I slip up when I should've played pretend

Turned eighteen and I left the city

I said "I wanna be cool I don't wanna be pretty"

Voices all came crashing down

And said "You're too nice to run this town"

I can't keep my feet on the ground

And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

I'm hoping that someone comes around

And helps me figure it out

I think that I should try to kill my ego

'Cause if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm acting like a ******* baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Nothing's as it seems

Yeah nothing's as it seems

And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm acting like a ******* baby

I'm really not that happy being me

I don't like the lie I'm living

I'm way too nice and too forgiving

I wanna go back to the beginning

When it all felt right

A rooftop Lower East Side I'm singing

Didn't give a **** if I was winning

It's all done now so who am I kidding

I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting

I think that I should try to kill my ego

'Cause if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm acting like a ******* baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Nothing's as it seems

Yeah nothing's as it seems

And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm acting like a ******* baby
