Just turned eighteen
And I don´t really know what that means
I still got the same anxiety
I feel so controlled by society

And my friends
They all seem to know what they wanna be
Got their lives planned five years ahead of me
And I don´t even know ´bout next week

Sometimes when I think ahead
It pulls the string around my chest
Too young to know how to live
Too old to be a kid

I just turned eighteen
And I don´t want the world to change me
It doesn´t take a lot to break me
´Cause I don´t recognise me lately
I just turned eighteen
Oh, one more year of this world turning
It´s just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting

Just turned eighteen

I´m off track
Gotta wish that I could go back
And live another day in my past
Calling to my youth

Sometimes when I think ahead
It pulls the string around my chest
Too young to know how to live
Too old to be a kid

I just turned eighteen
And I don´t want the world to change me
It doesn´t take a lot to break me
´Cause I don´t recognise me lately
I just turned eighteen
Oh, one more year of this world turning

It´s just another candle burning
But my reality is hurting
Just turned eighteen
Just turned eighteen

Just turned eighteen
And I don´t really know what that means
I still got the same anxiety
I feel so controlled by society, yeah, yeah

I just turned eighteen
And I don´t want the world to change me
It doesn´t take a lot to break me
´Cause I don´t recognise me lately (I don´t recognise me lately)
I just turned eighteen
Oh, one more year of this world turning
It´s just another candle burning

But my reality is hurting
I just turned eighteen (Happy birthday to me)
Just turned eighteen (Happy birthday to me)
