16 Lyrics by The Indien

The Indien

2024

[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm sixteen years
Still riding my bike down that road
I made mistakes growing up
That you couldn't love me for
Never been good on my own
I even changed up my clothes
Stayed at home
Always waiting for you to call back

[Pre-Chorus]
Put you on a pedestal
Tryna be the perfect girl
There, I said it
You made me regret it
'Cause I hated

[Chorus]
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, oh

[Verse 2]
You would never laugh at my jokes
Even when we were alone
I was always holding my breath
But you kept the water running, running
Staring at [?] 'til I'm fine
Trying not to cry outside
You couldn't [?] sorry
You never meant to hurt me like that, right?

[Pre-Chorus]
Put you on a pedestal
Tryna be the perfect girl
There, I said it
You made me regret it
'Cause I hated, woo

[Chorus]
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, oh

[Outro]
It's like I want to hate myself
The more you try to push me up
The harder I wanna stay here
And we were bad for my health
I'm thinking it's time I'm not picking up, picking up
Why can't I be perfect?
Ooh, oh
Feels like I'm sixteen years
Still riding my bike down that road
