now's not the time

Barely a year got my first role
More than a daughter at fourteen 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 grow 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's not the time
