How different are we really? 

If we both long for the same thing 

The home of belonging, the comfort of acceptance 

While you run after boys and temporary highs 

I chase after big girl dreams and nightmares too 

Facing each one alone

When you’re stuck in the moment with your feet glued to the ground 

My head floats high above the clouds, searching 

For the best version of me 

How different are we really? 

If the only time we don’t chameleon ourselves to fit in is when we’re with each other 

Because when it’s just you and I, 

You admit it all to me

How much they piss you off 

How you’re “not really friends” 

Or maybe that’s not the real you either 

Maybe every you is a fake you 

Because every you goes back to them anyway 

Who is that? 

And how similar are we now, 

Really?
