This is an iPhone recording taken moments after we wrote the song.
lyrics
I was 22 and didn’t know who
I was gonna be, so I thought I needed
Somebody to be my everything
It felt like true love
Just because he built me up
Only to tear me down
How’d I get there I don’t know
This ain’t the life that movies show
If felt like a waste of time
But you can grow from the tears you’ve cried
Now I wear heels on Friday night
Take a solo trip on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me not some man
About time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
It’s funny how when I began
To dip my toes in the water of who I should've been
Little by little I started to see that
The best parts of me were
Wearing heels on Friday night
Taking solo trips on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
Wearing makeup because I can
Red lips for me not some man
About time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
How’d I get there I don’t know
This ain’t the life that movies show
If felt like a waste of time
But you can grow from the tears you’ve cried
I wear heels on Friday night
I’ll take a solo trip on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me not some man
About time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
