Chicken Noodle - Small Crush↗

> Chicken noodle on my shirt / All my shoes are filled with dirt / Haven't done my laundry in a week / How many friendships can I keep? / I'm a mess / I'm a mess / I'm a mess
> I am not self sufficient / All my apples have worms in them / I spill milk everywhere / When was the last time I brushed my hair?
> So thank you for putting up with my mistakes / I can't imagine how much patience that must take / And I'm such a mess but / You're the best / You're the best / I'm such a mess but you're the best

Christmas Kids - ROAR↗

> You'll change your name or change your mind / And leave this fucked up place behind / But I'll know, I'll know
> Appearing unsightly / With devils inside me
> Get me out of here / Get me out of here / Get me out of here

Coming of Age - Olive Klug↗

> I've been skipping meals and dodging plans / And listening to pop punk bands / I'm tired of tryna fake it like it's fine / Been yelling at my friends / And staying online 'til 3 AM
> I count thе New Year's days I nevеr changed / The only difference is the pain
> What's the point of growing up / When it's obvious the world is fucked / By stuff someone thought up before my time

Girl Alone - Mother Mother↗

> You think it's so / Sad to know / A girl alone / Who spends all of / Her time at home
> You think it's so / Sad to see / A girl like me / Without a trace / Of company

growing pains - mxmtoon↗

> Sometimes I wonder whether me when I was younger / Would like the person that I've become / 'Cause first impressions tend to last through adolescence / And she still kinda hates everyone
> Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse / When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works / Maybe we're just like flowers starting down in the dirt / Everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt / Sometimes I question when I look at my reflection / If the person looking back is really me (is really me) / A couple years spent learning how to disappear / A couple more spent learning what I could be
> I can't help myself from faking a smile / Hard to break an old habit you've had for a while / I don't wanna be any worse than me / Sometimes it's hard to believe

Hello My Old Heart - The Oh Hellos↗

> Hello, my old heart / How have you been? / Are you still there inside my chest? / I've been so worried, you've been so still / Barely beating at all
> Hello, my old heart / It's been so long / Since I've given you away / And every day, I add another stone / To the walls I built around you / To keep you safe
> Hello, my old heart / How have you been? / How is it being locked away? / Don't you worry, in there you're safe / And it's true, you'll never beat / But you'll never break

Home - HAIM↗

> You think you know about me, well, I know me better / I'm not the girl who waits around just to be walked all over / I never tread the line, I never fell and I never lied / But I never thought that I could be the one to open my eyes
> But I trust that I / Could never stay the same / When everything felt so wrong / It led me to where I belong / So now / I'm goin' home / Take me home, just take me home
> Home is a symphony and it's bittersweet when it's callin' me / Just another river deep, flowin' to an ocean / I know that I may never know the future, unpredictable / A hundred choices led me here, lessons learned with every tear / They take me home, take me home
> Lookin' back on my life / The past is a mirror / I've left and come back / But what am I closer to?

Hope - ROAR↗

> Some mistakes should not be made / Like opening your heart / If your heart's upon your sleeve / Then amputate the arm

Mother - Matt Maltese↗

> All my friends, they miss you a lot / I know your father probably hates my guts
> And yesterday I told my mother / You learn to love again / And oh, she was the daughter you never had / And I know sometimes you might miss her / But I know the years can heal / And if there is another / Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
> [ik that this song is actually about exes but i like to interpret the song as a mum loving their child as who they used to be and not who they are now #alsoatransallegory]

No Connection - Cheekface↗

> If you're not disappointed yet, just give me some time / I'm feeling fine but not better than fine
> I got blood under my fingernails from scratching my head / We got a lot of croutons, so we better make this salad / My new therapy is just thinking about my friends
> I've got memories that aren't that good / I've got dreams and dreams are not that good / I'm announcing loudly, "I don't know what's going wrong!" / I tried turning it off and then turning it back on / Do I look better when I'm suffering?
> I'm announcing loudly that we were never friends / No shirt, no shoes, no justice / I did not mean to offend / Everything might be okay

No One Thinks About You - ROAR↗

> No one thinks about you even half as much as you think that they do / Even half as much as you think that they do
> Tighten your grip and it will break you apart like a cancer / And you had been tricked into believing it gets you an answer

Rotting - Rockabye (musical)↗

> I am without a doubt / Rotting from the inside out
> As I look to this gory forecast / Was my life worth something?
> Never noticed that I might be lost / Too afraid of my fears and too / Exhausted to be outstanding / My grotesqueness / Is breathtaking / I said, "Leave me" / I was faking

The Big Game - Olive Klug↗

> Chin up child oh what a life you have ahead / That's what they're all saying if I could only find my head
> I don't know but I'm anxious and I know that I'm not ready / But I don't know how much longer I can wait

U Deserve - Wasia Project↗

> Digging through my mind and memories / I remember once you told me / That nobody'd care if I disappeared / And I believed every word / Every day I'd stare at my reflection / But all I ever saw was imperfection / I'd cry at the mirror / But no one would hear / You never let them listen
> Haven't seen the sun for an eternity / Skirting 'round the borderline of sanity / I'd scream at the wind but no one would listen (ooh) / Didn't know what to think
> Take back your conscience and your crimes / Every minute of your time / Get the fuck out of my mind / Take back your weapons and your words / Put the seconds on reverse / All this hatred you deserve / You deserve, you deserve

What Do You Want from Me Tonight? - Sidney Gish↗

> Now, I'm stuck losing my mind / While everyone else just thinks that I'm really shy
> And I'll sit here for a million years, just staring across the room / But what do you want? / Cause I want it all / And I'd really rather step back, but my back's against the wall / What if I'm too nice? / It's a punch in the face to be so over polite
> And my voice is too high / And it matches my head, and I look like I wanna die
> And I'm born too tall to contort my spine into a ball / And I wanna disappear, but I'm not adequately small
