i wrote a song about reading too much as a kid lyrics
[verse 1]

at the tender age of seven, i begged my parents
to buy me my own library card
i wanted books that’d keep me up all night
and they became my kryptonite
instead of people, ’cause talking was hard

[verse 2]

i’d bring my books with me to lunch, so that i didn’t have to run
’cause the pages built a temporary shield
from the forces that rejected me, those who’d never protected me
and for a while, it all just felt so real

[prе*chorus

yeah, things were grеat, things were fine
but the magic had to run out sometime…

[chorus]

so here i am at twenty*one
my life has finally begun

but i can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
i’ll accept this part of me:
the poorly adapted literary freak
with no happily ever after now
ever after now
[verse 3]

and so when the time came up, for me to finally fall in love
i set my expectations way too high
it turned out i was no protagonist, that boys weren’t a fan of this
and so i slowly learned that i should hide

[pre*chorus)

from the reality that was consuming me
that i’d never be like the girls they’d write

[chorus]

so here i am at twenty*one
my life has finally begun
but i can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
i’ll accept this part of me:
the poorly adapted literary freak
with no happily ever after now
ever after now

[bridge]

maybe we don’t all get happy endings
or maybe that’s just how it works
and for that reason i can’t keep defending
my own little universe
my own little universe
[chorus]

here i am
i can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
i’ll accept this part of me:
the poorly adapted literary freak
with no happily ever after now
ever after now
ever after now
