Years Years Lyrics

There's a scratch on your shoulder
The physical mark on your shoulder represents the emotional burden that weighs me down

Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
The weight of the emotional burden is so heavy that it feels like I am being crushed by a dense metal

And I wanna get older
I wish to grow older and wiser to better understand how to deal with these heavy emotions

All the things I want I really shouldn't get
Despite my desire for certain things, I am aware that they may not be good for me in the long run

If I triumph, are you watching?
If I overcome my emotional struggles, will you take notice of my success?

Can you separate everything for me?
Can you help me differentiate and compartmentalize my emotions to better understand how to deal with them?

You used to work me out
You once helped me understand and process my emotions

But you never worked it out for me
However, you were never able to resolve my issues entirely

And your head looks good
I find you physically attractive and admire your intelligence and knowledge

I wanna love it so much
I strongly desire to be emotionally close to you

I wanna be the one
I long to be the person who understands and supports you through your own emotional struggles

I wanna do what you love
I want to share your interests and experiences with you

And I was lying
I was not being truthful with myself or others about my feelings

I don't really wanna be fine
I am not content with simply being okay; I want to confront and resolve my emotional struggles

It's all over
The relationship or emotional turmoil that I have been experiencing has come to an end
