Ruby - 18 Going On 80 Lyrics

The candles are out
The song is done
I feel I've just got older
By ten years not one

All the expectations
Pile up on me
The waters now above my head
I feel that I can't breathe

I know I'm far too late
To try and see a change
My time is up I'm on the clock
There's nothing I can do
I know I'll devastate
My peers when they see my face
I'll try and hide try not to find
Just what I've done to you

Cause I'm 18 going on 80
The mistakes I've made
In the past few days
Come crawling back to me
Cause I'm 18 going on 80
All of this weight just seals my fate
I'm an adult now
So why don't I feel free

It's natural
They say it's natural
To feel this way don't know what to say
You're speechless when I cry

So I fake smiles
But you can't tell
Tears in my eyes as it falls from the skies
I know this won't end well

I know my time is up
I know I'm on the clock
I've fallen down, there's no way out
No one else around
My feelings they start to change
I'm trapped in my own birdcage
Clawing despair but I put it there
My worst enemy

Cause I'm 18 going on 80
The mistakes I've made
In the past few days
Come crawling back to me
Cause I'm 18 going on 80
All of this weight just seals my fate
I'm an adult now
So why don't I feel free

Oh, it all comes back to me
Oh, I'm only 18
Oh, just have to let it be

Cause I'm 18 going on 80
All of this weight just seals my fate
I'm an adult now
So why don't I feel free
