Olen - GROWING UP IS OVERRATED Lyrics

Getting money is okay
But it'd be great if I could
Only imagine all that I could do with it
I had notebooks full of pages of creations
Brainstormed in the classroom
Before high school ruined it
I would run wild
Live free
Love strong
Now I'm empty
To only ever be the greatest if you let me
If you let me

I was young and liberated
My mind was not laundered
(Mind was not laundered)
I got older, graduated
And the young bold spirit inside me died
Growing up is overrated
So why would I bother
(Why would I bother)
Sorry but I'm too amazing
To let you make me live a lousy lie

Look in my eyes
I'll tell you what you will find
A tortured soul terrified
You'll lead me to my demise
I might overdose
On drink, pills or my anxiety
While you overlook
The signs of my demise

I was young and liberated
My mind was not laundered
(Mind was not laundered)
I got older, graduated
And the young bold spirit inside me died
Growing up is overrated
So why would I bother
(Why would I bother)
Sorry but I'm too amazing
To let you make me live a lousy lie
