5 a.m. - let me live my truth

Laying under the stars hand in arm
Your eyes twinkle like a newly formed planet
Our youth feels like the life of a star
Feels like we have forever
But in reality, we know it won't last
Run with me through the valley of peace
Away from all this war
Feels like we're constantly
Pressured from the beginning
Feeling like we're never truly living
Gotta get away from
The control of other people

Let me live my youth
Let me live my youth yeah
Stop treating me like an adult
Let me live my truth yeah
Let me live my youth yeah

Let me be the kid I was meant to be
Let me be the true me that's
Trapped inside of me
I'm not your perfection
Of a visionary cause I'm a human too
You treat me like I'm nothing
But another you
Just let me live freely
Just let me live like me yeah
I'm not the girl that you thought I was
I'm the boy that sits in the back of the
Class trying to avoid getting whiplash
From the backlash of the people
Trying to make my life
Go by in a flash

Just let me live my youth yeah
Just let me live my youth yeah
Let me live my truth

I'm not what society pictures as the norm
They lookin' at me like I'm an outcast
But I'd rather be an outcast
Than be a robot
People suggesting therapy
Like its gonna convert me
Well I'm the alien in area 51
So you better run
Y'all acting like I got fleas
With a disease
Avoiding me everywhere I go
I'm just trying to live my truth yeah

So let me live my youth yeah
Let me live my youth
Let me live my youth yeah
Let me live my truth
