Dear Parents Lyrics – Tate McRae

[Verse 1: Tate McRae]
Sixteen, lot on her mind
Got a few friends, left the rest behind
But guess that's just what happens, people change
Stressed out but is always "fine"
They be asking, but she can't describe
Maybe, they're right, it'll all be fixed with age

[Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae]
Hate that you've been saying I'm dramatic
Immature because I just don't wanna talk
You ever think that you might be overreacting?
Promise I'm thinking, overthinking quite a lot

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
They say we're crazy and useless
Making stupid excuses
To go make bad decisions when we're hurt
And we're not crazy romantics
But we still know what a heart is
And know that when it's cracked it really burns

[Post-Chorus: Tate McRae]
Oh, we know more than what we tell you
But can't always put into words
And we don't cry because we want to
But you'll assume it's because she's another
Sixteen-year-old girl

[Verse 2: Tate McRae]
High school's been a terrifying one
She thinks she won't ever find someone
To build her back when she's in pieces and pieces again
Let's not forget about all the
Ones who go and run their mouths just to
Stay relevant and not miss out

[Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae]
Hate that you've been saying I'm dramatic
Immature because I just don't wanna talk
You ever think that you might be overreacting?
Promise I'm thinking, overthinking quite a lot

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
They say we're crazy and useless
Making stupid excuses
To go make bad decisions when we're hurt
And we're not crazy romantics
But we still know what a heart is
And know that when it's cracked it really burns

[Post-Chorus: Tate McRae]
Oh, we know more than what we tell you
But can't always put into words
And we don't cry because we want to
But you'll assume it's because she's another
Sixteen-year-old girl
