14 Lyrics
Fourteen and I'm thinkin' 'bout God again
In the back of our car, everyone is so far from me
Seventeen and I'm feelin' so out of place
I've been movin' too much
And lately, I've been runnin' round in circles everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've turned off a part of me
That I can't find anymore
I'm sick of always questioning myself
And what I'm doing wrong
[Chorus]
And I wish I was somebody else
Just to feel like I’m enough for myself
And I've been fightin' with who I am inside my head
And I don't know me anymore
[Verse 2]
Nineteen and I'm gettin' too drunk again
And I'm falling in love with everyone just for a minute
Mmm, twenty and I'm running away from everything
I dropped out of school to end up wakin' on another cold park bench
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've turned off a part of me
That I can't find anymore
I'm sick of always questioning myself
And what I'm doing wrong
And I wish I was somebody else
Just to feel like I’m enough for myself
And I've been fightin' with who I am inside my head
And I don't know me anymore
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Woah, anymore
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Woah
[Outro]
And I wish I was somebody else
Just to feel like I’m enough for myself

14 is finally out wow. After 2 years of writing 30 different choruses and versions of this song, it’s finally out in this world. When I wrote this song I was at the lowest point in my life, I did not know who I was and who I wanted to be. I questioned every single decision I made, questioned every part of who I was and how I grew up. I grew up moving country to country every 3 years, lived in 6 different countries, went to 20 different schools. Always being the new kid at school and never felt normal, or felt like I fit in anywhere. and ever since I was 10 I grew up asking myself every single day “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME” I was not one single bit proud to be who I was and even how I looked I struggled with. Having a Norwegian mum and a Filipino dad really did not help me feel anything even remotely close to home. But in the 2 years of writing this song, I’ve slowly learned to accept myself and grow to love all the weird things that I do and am. This song speaks about all the hardships and the questions about myself that I had in my head ever since I was 10. I hope you find peace when you listen to this song and strength in knowing that you are not alone in this world.
