Brandy Martin - Birthday Wish Lyrics

Hi, it's my birthday today
And I just turned eighteen
From this point ahead
Life is hard as it seems
How do I tell my friends that
My life is just full of dreams
Sing the happy birth songs
Make your great birthday wish
Just go and ignore all the looks on the scene
Just go and pretend you're the great perfect adult they wish
How did I even think that it was going to be easy
Being the perfect adult they wish
Am I even ready
On confronting all the problems like the perfect adult would be
I would've hoped that with all the problems ahead
I was living a dream
I'm so scared of my life
I wish I could go back to being a teen
Believe me, you think it's the best
Being an adult, but it's not what you think
You'll miss the candles, the games
Your new perfect wish
Is that you could go back to being a kid
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Today I will sit and think of the things I could be
Thinking of the strangers that are living my dreams
Thinking if the future holds the same things for me
I wrote some years ago in my journal this wish
Hoping that soon I was turning eighteen
But now that I'm turning eighteen
I wish I was turning fifteen
How did I even think that it was going to be easy
Being the perfect adult they wish
Am I even ready
On confronting all the problems like the perfect adult would be
I would've hoped that with all the problems ahead
I was living a dream
I'm so scared of my life
I wish I could go back to being a teen
Believe me, you think it's the best
Being an adult, but it's not what you think
You'll miss the candles, the games
Your new perfect wish
Is that you could go back to being a kid
