Birthday
Soft Fangs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You blame it on everyone else,
hiding out inside yourself.
If it's something we need to talk about,
don't react like I'm somebody else.

I'm old enough to die,
I'm young enough to be alive.
I'm old enough to die.




I'm young enough to be alive
