Time Will Tell Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2020

[Intro]
I can't sleep, I'm too tired for this
I don't wanna be broken in
And whipped and trained to spend my days
In a place I hate for a measly wage
It's just too much pain to work today
I'll try to keep sane until I get paid
So I can feed myself another day
It's just not my way
I can't live this way
It's just not my way
I can't live this way

[Verse 1]
I met a guy who says I'm pretty, I could be a model
If I tried
But when we got to talkin' about tops and bottoms
He lied, he lied

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just please give me something to stop this ache
Just please give me something to fill this lake
Just please give me something my heart can take
Just please give me something fake

[Chorus 1]
Maybe when I grow up, I can paint it on my face
Another name that I despise, one to take my place
Then I'll be complete, and I won't have to worry anymore
And I know I'm not the first to be so selfishly adored

[Verse 2]
I told him that I just can't say those words
"You're mine, you're mine"
But if we were to go our separate ways today
I'd cry, I'd cry

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just please let me know why I feel this way
Just please make me feel confident today
Just please understand that I cannot stay
Just please make it go away

[Chorus 2]
Maybe when I grow up, I can be a better friend
I'll learn a lesson I'll despise, one to clear my head
When I turn to see, all of my worries will be gone
And I'll finally get some sense, because I'll know that I was wrong

[Chorus 3]
Maybe when I grow up, I'll see you standin' there
Another place that I despise near all my fallen hair
When I go to sleep, you won't have to worry again
'Cause you'll know that I've done well, or I've convinced myself I did
