Already old How can I grow when I’m already old? (How can I grow when I'm already old? My own body hates me) Already old (Hates me) How can I grow when I’m already old? (How can I grow when I'm already old? It's been quiet, and I was old) Already old How can I grow when I’m already old? (How can I, how can I grow when I’m already old?) I try to let it breathe I tear myself apart But everything inside is ruined It’s dead from the air I need I’m as scared as a child now As a child As a child As a child now How can I grow when I’m already old? How can I grow when I’m already old? (How can I grow when I’m already old?) Already old
