eli. - how i feel (official lyric video)

don’t tell me i’m too young to
have emotions
don’t tell me it’s just a phase

don’t you dare make me feel small
cause you’re older
you’re no more better than me

when i fall down
let me feel fallen
when i mess up
let me be broken

just let me feel my pain

don’t tell me i can’t be depressed
i’m under so much stress
you have no idea

don’t talk down to me like that
i hate it when you act like
i’m down here

cause i’m allowed to feel how i feel

don’t tell me i’m too young to make decisions
it’s your attempt to control

you wanna make it seem like good intentions
but i know better than that

don’t let people condescend to you because you’re young
you don’t have to take it from a patronizing tongue
don’t get your advice from someone who destroyed their lungs
you know that you know yourself much better than anyone else

wise men don’t wait for the day of the dead
they learn and grow when they’re younger instead
don’t let the foolishness get to your head
life won’t give you a second chance
