Lyrics

2016

[Verse 1] I want to buy my innocence Back from the gun that's at my head I’m not mad at you girl, I just had a bad day What could possibly go wrong? I'm as good as gone [Chorus] I'm not the same kid I was in 2016 I was young, I was dumb Now I overthink things That I shouldn't, I couldn't You wouldn't believe what I did as a kid back in 2016 [Verse 2] I hate birthdays, they mean nothing to me I don't celebrate, so don't buy anything For me, I don’t deserve it, I'm bleeding out on purpose I see it makes you nervous, is it working? [Chorus] I'm not the same kid I was in 2016 I was young, I was dumb Now I overthink things That I shouldn't, I couldn't You wouldn't believe what I did as a kid back in 2016 [Bridge] I didn't care what you said when I was a kid But you tried to ruin my life a thousand times But now look at you [Chorus] I'm not the same kid I was in 2016 I was young, I was dumb Now I overthink things That I shouldn't, I couldn't You wouldn't believe what I did as a kid back in 2016
