carta (a mí)

I spent a lot of time
Wanting to grow up
But being scared at the same time
I never knew how to enjoy it

I’m still learning how
To loosen the reins a bit
Let myself go
Without being afraid of the changes

Ah ah ah
And if I could write a letter
To my past self
I’d tell him not to overthink it

I know it looks blurry from where you are
But the world is bigger than this town
Bigger than your room
And those kids who made you cry
Changing over the years hasn’t been so bad
Changing over the years hasn’t been so bad

During the break after studying
My friends come back and more and more
I feel like I don’t know them that well
But I think it’s normal if some people
You grew up with become strangers
And at 19, I’m getting to know myself
There’s so much I think about that sometimes I get stuck

I know it looks blurry from where you are
But the world is bigger than this town
Bigger than your room
And those kids who made you cry
Changing over the years hasn’t been so bad

I swear I’ll always protect
That childhood innocence
Being able to be naive and realistic at the same time
Knowing how to walk that line
Ah ah ah

The nail polish on the table
And this second-hand mini skirt
I’m making peace with myself
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
And if I could write a letter
To my past self
I’d tell him not to overthink it

I know it looks blurry from where you are
But the best years start right now
Even if at 17 you feel like the whole world’s gonna end
Changing over the years hasn’t been so bad
Changing over the years hasn’t been so bad

It hasn’t been so bad
It hasn’t been so bad
