Eighteen (I'm Learning)

Eighteen (I'm Learning)
~Lyrics by Bethany

I thought I was done
I thought I was through
I thought my mind couldn't take anymore

I thought I'd shattered
to the point
I couldn't be put back together

Things have changed
People are talking
and I now don't want to drown out
what they're saying

I'm feeling it now
I'm listening to it now
I'm seeing it now
and I'm loving it now

As I looked through
my old lyrics
I found I wasn't following
my own morals

Savor it
With every inch of me
I can finally breathe

(Chorus)
I'm learning
I don't have to be so crazy
I don't have to believe everything
and I can finally be
my own person
I'm learning
I don't have to be so
Sensitive
I am brave
and I am beautiful

Looking through my eyes
at the life I had once before
While my mind is still
Slowly Shattering

I think I can make it
No, I know I can make it
I know my life is much better than before

And I can do it,
I can do this!

(Chorus)
I'm learning
I don't have to be so crazy
I don't have to believe everything
and I can finally be
my own person
I'm learning
I don't have to be so
Sensitive
I am brave
and I am beautiful

I'm alive
My heart is still beating

I won't die
I'll still be breathing

By the time this war is through
I will have survived

I thought I was done
I thought I was through
I thought my mind couldn't take anymore

I thought I'd shattered
to the point
I couldn't be put back together

But I'm still here

Things have changed
People are talking
and I now don't want to drown out
what they're saying

I'm feeling it now
I'm listening to it now
I'm seeing it now
And I'm loving it now

I'm learning,
I'm learnng!

(Chorus)
I'm learning
I don't have to be so crazy
I don't have to believe everything
and I can finally be
my own person
I'm learning
I don't have to be so
Sensitive
I am brave
and I am beautiful
