Getting Older lyrics || Billie Eilish

 I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well

I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself

There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for

But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door

Which is ironic, 'cause the strangers seem to want me more than anyone before (anyone before)

Too bad they're usually deranged

Last week, I realized that I crave pity

When I re-tell a story, I make everything sound worse

Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healin'

And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed

Which is ironic, because when I wasn't honest, I was still bein' ignored

(Lyin' for attention just to get neglection) Now we're estranged

Things I once enjoyed (ah-ah)

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for

Some day, I'll be bored of

It's so weird

That we care so much until we don't

I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders

But I'm gettin' better at admittin' when I'm wrong

I'm happier than ever, at least that's my endeavor

To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

'Cause to be honest, I just wished the world I promised

Would depend on what I'm givin', not on his permission

Wasn't my decision to be abused, mm

Things I once enjoyed

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for, mm

Some day, I'll be bored of

It's so weird

That we care so much until we don't

But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'

For anybody askin', I promise I'll be fine

I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna

Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
