Lyrics
Finally old enough for all those things she should understand
Reaching an age where she should comprehend certain things.
But she won't
Despite being old enough, she refuses to understand.
These lies they told that shouldn't hurt she believed for so many years
Believed lies that shouldn't have hurt, for many years.
But they did
The lies did cause pain despite their apparent harmlessness.
This time on her own didn't make her grow
Time alone didn't contribute to her personal growth.
Oh no
Her solo experiences did not lead to positive development.
And she's the troubled teen, like the first time
Identified as a troubled teen, reminiscent of the past.
But this time she can't run, run, run, run away
Unable to escape from her troubles this time.
She can't run away
Emphasizes the impossibility of running away from issues.
Growing fast, moving slow
Maturing quickly but progressing at a slow pace.
She's not the same person that you used to know
She has changed and is not the person known from the past.
You won't notice the change, she seems ok
External observers may not notice the internal changes.
Only eyes give it (away)
Her eyes betray the façade, revealing the true emotions.
And she's the troubled teen, like the first time
Reiterates her status as a troubled teen, reminiscent of earlier struggles.
But this time she can't run, run, run, run away
Despite the desire, she cannot escape from her problems.
She can't run…
Repetition underscores the inescapability of her situation.
Maybe this place wasn't right
Suggests a sense of dissatisfaction with her current environment.
Hopeless, no one to blame for my (mistakes)
Feeling hopeless with no one else to blame for past errors.
Can you forget, what was said
Asking if it's possible to forget hurtful words exchanged.
Don't want to fall again
Expressing a reluctance to experience pain again.
And she's the
Introductory line fragment, likely leading into the next verse.
Troubled teen like the first time
Reiterating her troubled teen status from earlier experiences.
But this time she can't run, run, run, run away
Despite the familiarity, she cannot escape her troubles.
And I'm the
Shifts perspective to the speaker acknowledging their own struggles.
Troubled teen, like the last time
The speaker is a troubled teen, reminiscent of the past.
But this time I run, run, run, run, run away
The speaker, unlike before, chooses to run away from their issues.
And I'm the
Reiteration of the speaker's troubled teen status.
Troubled teen, like the last time
Similar to the earlier stance, the speaker decides to run away.
But this time I run, run, run, run, run away
Repeating the decision to escape, emphasizing the resolve.
I run away
Final repetition of the decision to run away from problems.
I run away
Emphasizing the act of running away from challenges.
I run away
A conclusive repetition of the decision to escape.
