My Future
Billie Eilish Lyrics

I can't seem to focus
I'm finding it hard to concentrate and pay attention.

And you don't seem to notice
You're not aware of my struggles.

I'm not here
I feel detached and emotionally absent.

I'm just a mirror
I feel like I'm reflecting the people around me rather than being myself.

You check your complexion
You look at yourself in the mirror.

To find your reflection's all alone
You realize that you're the only one there and there isn't anyone else around you.

I had to go
I needed to leave and go somewhere alone.

Can't you hear me?
Can't you understand what I'm trying to say?

I'm not comin' home
I'm not returning to my previous state of being.

Do you understand?
Do you comprehend my intentions?

I've changed my plans
I've altered my future trajectory.

'Cause I, I'm in love
Because I've found something that makes me feel passionate and fulfilled.

With my future
With the potential of what's ahead for me in life.

Can't wait to meet her
I'm excited to explore my future self.

And I, I'm in love
And I'm completely enamored.

But not with anybody else
But not with any specific person.

Just wanna get to know myself
I want to spend time figuring out who I am and what I want in life.

I know supposedly I'm lonely now (lonely now)
I understand that people may think I'm isolated and in despair.

Know I'm supposed to be unhappy
I'm aware that society expects me to be miserable.

Without someone (someone)
Without a partner or companion.

But aren't I someone? (Aren't I someone? Yeah)
Aren't I a valuable human being with a sense of self-worth?

I'd (I'd) like to be your answer (be your answer)
I'd like to be the solution to your problems and make you happy.

'Cause you're so handsome (you're so handsome)
Because I'm drawn to your physical appearance.

But I know better
But I'm aware of my self-worth and what's best for me.

Than to drive you home
Than to put myself in a situation where I'll be tempted to become involved with you again.

'Cause you'd invite me in
Because you'd try to seduce me again.

And I'd be yours again
And I'd give in to my desires and become dependent on you again.

But I, I'm in love (love, love, love, love)
But I've found something that truly makes me happy.

With my future
With the potential of what lies ahead for me.

And you don't know her
And you don't understand the person I'm becoming.

And I, I'm in love (love, love)
And I'm truly infatuated.

But not with anybody here
But not with anyone I've met before.

I'll see you in a couple years
I'll reevaluate our connection in a few years and see what the future holds.
