  • Hmm, hmm

    Fell in love for the first time
    With a friend, it's a good sign
    Feelin' off when I feel fine
    Twenty-one took a lifetime
    People say I look happy
    Just because I got skinny
    But the old me is still me and maybe the real me
    And I think she's pretty

    And I still cry
    Cry
    And you know why

    Am I acting my age now?
    Am I already on the way out?
    When I step off the stage, I'm a bird in a cage
    I'm a dog in a dog pound
    And you said I was your secret
    And you didn't get to keep it
    And the internet is hungry for the meanest kinda funny
    And somebody's gotta feed it

    Oh, do you still cry?
    Still cry
    Cry

    I never did you wrong (never did you wrong)
    And my (oh), my patience is gone (is gone)
    And I (I), I never did you wrong (you)
    I, I loved you for so long (hmm) Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas O'Connell
