Getting Older(Deezer Session) - Damon Albarn

I'm gettin' older, I think I'm aging well

I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself

There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for

But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door

Which is ironic 'cause strangers seem to want me more

Than anyone before, anyone before

Too bad they're usually deranged

Last week, I realized I crave pity

When I retell the story, I make everything sound worse

Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing

And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed

Which is ironic 'cause when I wasn't honest

I was still bein' ignored, lyin' for attention just to get neglection

Now we're estranged

Things I once enjoyed

Just keep me employed now

Things I'm longing for

Someday, I'll be bored of

It's so weird

That we care so much until we don't

I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders

But I am getting better at admitting when I'm wrong

I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor

To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

'Cause, to be honest, I just wish that what I promise

Would depend on what I'm given, not on his permission

It wasn't my decision to be abused

Things I once enjoyed

Just keep me employed now

And things I'm longing for

Someday, I'll be bored of

It's so weird

That we care so much until we don't

But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'

For anybody asking, I promise to be fine

I've had some trauma, did things that I didn't want to

Was too afraid to tell you, but now, I think it's time
