Bloom

Haunted by a ghost that I can't touch
It follows me and pulls me to the dark
I think too much about the things that hurt
Spinning, dizzy, wishing for a spark
If I'm always too much
Will I ever be enough
Is my love too hard to take
Will I bloom or will I break

I reach for the sun
But I follow just a bit too distantly
Always on the run
But there's no finish line waiting up ahead for me
Too nice and too soft
Too weird and too lost
Too weak to know what's best for me
Too strong to turn it off
Frail is my state of mind
No future if I stay behind
I'm jealous of my youth
Am I scared to bloom?

Am I scared?
Am I scared to bloom?
Am I scared to bloom?
Am I scared?
Am I scared?
Am I scared to bloom?
Am I scared to bloom?

Making peace with the things
That always make me weak
Learning not to worry
And not be in a hurry
To grow up
Better to move slower
Than not to move at all
You can't pick yourself up if you never fall
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
I wanna just run away from all the things you can't see
It's never too late to
Bloom into
The person that I've always meant to be
Cause it rains
And my pain
Comes in waves
After days
Without sun
Here it comes
And if some
Goes away
I can say
I'm alive
Made it through
With a smile
As my proof
Stand up hands up to the roof
Now I'm ready watch me bloom
Am I so wrong?
Am I so weak
For wanting things
That no one else needs?
People can say I'm broken
But honestly I'm hoping
That there's strength in my roots
There's pain in my truth

Oh now watch me bloom
Oh
Watch me bloom
Oh
Watch me bloom
Yeah
Watch me bloom
Oh
Watch me bloom
Oh
Watch me bloom
Watch me bloom
Watch me bloom
Oh
Oh I wanna bloom
Now watch me bloom
Yeah
I wanna bloom
Watch me bloom
Watch me bloom
