Eliza Carlson - Eighteen, Nineteen

Put on my face, paint on a smile
I'm not who you want me to be, heaven knows I've tried
Can I go home? I won't ever belong here
Oh, whoa, don't recognize myself in the mirror
I've been hiding for so long
All I wanted was to be someone
And now I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be eighteen now
A little time just to be eighteen now
Eighteen, oh, whoa
Made some new friends, sometimes I'm still lonely
Make myself think nobody really wants to know me
Can I go home? I won't ever belong with you
Oh, whoa
I've been pretending since I was young
Caught up in the whirlwind, don't look down
And now I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be eighteen now
A little time just to be eighteen now
Eighteen, oh, whoa, I am
Crashing and burning out
They said I'd get to know myself
But I'm nowhere to be found
And now I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be eighteen now
A little time just to be eighteen now
Eighteen, oh, whoa
And everyone told me this would be the time of my life
And yet I am caught up in this unwritten history of goodbyes
And if this is supposed to be the greatest time of my life
Then why am I alone with the anxiety keeping me up all night
And everyone told me this would be the time of my life
Time of my life
No one seems to realize that I am losing my mind
Time of my life, time of my life, time of my life
I'm not who I want me to be
How am I supposed to know everything at eighteen
Time of my life, time of my life
Yeah, right
I've been hiding for so long
All I wanted was to be someone
And now I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be nineteen now
A little time just to be nineteen now
Nineteen, oh, whoa, I am
Crashing and burning out
They said I'd get to know myself
But I'm nowhere to be found
And now I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be nineteen now
A little time just to be nineteen
Nineteen, oh, whoa
Time of my life, time of my life, time of my life
Not who I want me to be
How am I supposed to know everything at nineteen
Time of my life, time of my life, yeah right
I just need some space to breathe out
A little time just to be eighteen now
A little time just to be nineteen
Nineteen, oh, whoa
