Bella Garland - 18

When I was young I used to run
Around my yard and pretend I was
A princess
And my castle was a pillow fort
And my mom would listen at my door
And shake her head
But I wanted high heels and I wanted lipstick
I wanted a boyfriend I wanted one quick and I
Wish that I had known I was lucky then
Cause when you grow up you realize fairytales end
So, tell me when does it get easier?
Cause it's getting a little hard to breathe in here
I wish that I could go back in time
I wanna be a little kid again
I never had a problem making friends
The thought of growing up once seemed so nice
But I don't wanna be 18 tonight
Feels like every day I take a ride
On a rollercoaster called my pride
Yeah, it goes up and goes down
And I'm lonelier than I have ever been
Even when there's hundreds of people around
And I wanted to leave and I wanted it bad
They told me slow down cause you'll never get back oh
What I thought I didn't want
But it just hit me that it's gone
So tell me when does it get easier?
Cause it's getting a little hard to breathe in here
I wish that I could go back in time
I wanna be a little kid again
I never had a problem making friends
The thought of growing up once seemed so nice
But I don't wanna be 18 tonight oh
No matter how hard you try
It goes by in the blink of an eye
And you'll be grabbing at its sleeves
Just please don't be like me
Cause I don't think that it gets easier
And it's gotten really hard to breathe in here
And I'd give anything to turn back time
To when I was a little kid again
Back when everyone I met became my friend
The thought of growing up was on my mind
Oh, but I don't wanna be 18 tonight oh yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
