now's not the time

Barely a year, got my first role
More than a daughter at 14 months old
Bearing the weight of being your friend
Now I′ll never be a kid ever again

What I wouldn’t give to just be young
I′m bending over backwards for my mom

So now’s not the time to say it out loud
I’ll take my dreams and I′ll shove ′em deep down
Say it’s what I want, I hate when I lie
Wish I could let you know what′s on my mind

But now’s not the time

Pack up my life, moving back west
Hurts to go home when I just left the nest
I grew up too fast, now I feel alone
′Cause I’m not the person that they used to know

So now′s not the time to say it out loud
I’ll take my dreams and I’ll shove ′em deep down
Say it′s what I want, I hate when I lie
Wish I could let you know what’s on my mind

Like how much I′m scared that I might hit the ground
And I wanna be brave, but I’m starting to drown
When I think about pieces of me that I′ve found
That I’ll never get back, ′cause I’ll never go down

But now’s not the time to say it out loud
I′ll take my dreams and I′ll shove ‘em deep down
Say it′s what I want, I hate when I lie
Wish I could let you know what’s on my mind

But now is not the time
