Tegan Pilon - 16 Lyrics

I paint a picture of how I should be
This perfect polished version of me
There was a time when I felt okay
Someone take me back to that place

Where I felt a little more like me
And didn't sit here wondering

How could someone feel so much at 16
My life has barely just begun and it's starting to erupt
I've spent so many nights feeling unseen
So I'm breaking down but this time around
How do I go easier on me
Cause god I'm only 16

Now that I'm older and they expect more
The pressures hitting me like a slamming door
Can't get this right why do I still try
I'll try to get me back to that place

Where I felt a little more like me
And didn't sit here wondering

How could someone feel so much at 16
My life has barely just begun and it's starting to erupt
I've spent so many nights feeling unseen
So I'm breaking down but this time around
How do I go easier on me
Cause god I'm only 16

That Thursday night I was feeling everything but alright
Who knew that was the start of a prolonged fight
I'm so tired
Of saying I'm fine on the surface when that's a lie
I'm so done with this feeling I'm to young
I don't wanna complain I just wanna say

How could someone feel so much at 16
My life has barely just begun and it's starting to erupt
I've spent so many nights feeling unseen
So I'm breaking down and this time around
How do I go easier on me
How do I go easier on me
Cause god I'm only 16
