nature vs. nurture - chase petra lyrics
nature versus nurture
how do i know what’s true
what’s me, what’s you
mother, maybe father
which words are mine
are you, am i
they crumbled right in front of me
wasn’t ready to see
all of their humanity
i was too young to play
all of their grown up games
played a p*wn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
i had to get over it
i did my best, check my progress
i am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then, so back down
(weren’t you both the ones who said
i had to get over it
nature versus nurture
how can i know what is real
what’s true)
mother, father
you are flawed and you can falter
i forgive you
now i have perspective and can see you
i don’t have to hide from myself
from the parts that resemble you
mother and father
just follow suit, forgive each other
they crumbled right in front of me
i wasn’t ready to see
all of their humanity
i was too young to play
all of their grown up games
played a p*wn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
i had to get over it
i did my best, check my progress
i am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then, so back down
back down
back down
years spent waiting
just surviving
til i could reach
autonomy
years spent waiting
(years spent)
just surviving
(waiting, just survive)
til i could reach
(years spent waiting)
autonomy
(just surviving)
alone, eighteen
(years spent)
angry, twenty
(waiting, just)
forgiving, i’m twenty*three
(surviving, twenty*three)
they crumbled right in front of me
i wasn’t ready to see
all of their humanity
i was too young to play
all of their grown up games
played a p*wn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
(nature)
i had to get over it
(versus)
i did my best, check my progress
(nurture versus)
i am an adult now
(nature)
black and white can’t hurt me how
(versus)
it did back then, so back down
(nurture versus)
i had to grow up too fast
you know those effects, they last
but i put it in the past
i had to grow up too fast
then if i could do that
you can do this, it’s all i ask
