Big & Scared - Raleigh Ritchie

Little me

Let me tell you kid who you’re gonna be

When you turn the lights out you won’t be scared anymore

You won’t even care anymore, honestly

Little bean

All that sugar’s fucking up your teeth (Well okay, sorry)

Messing with your gums

And things won’t get better if you run

Nothing’s right when you’re 21

Take a break, look into the sun and celebrate the human you’ve become

I want you to be proud of what you’ve done

Little bean

Sometimes I wish I could be anyone other than me

But then I just breathe, think about who I wanna be

I know I’m not around

I know I let you down

But I want to be better for you

Let me do that now

You’re my favourite human

So you should be prepared

I’ll help you get through it

When you’re big and scared

Little bean

There are things scarier than clowns

I’m sorry to break it to you now

The monster in the dark is all around

But trust me you can beat it in a team

So try and open up to someone else

You can’t fight a monster by yourself

No one ever knows you super well

But there’s a person I want you to meet

And when that person offers out their hand

I want you to take it like a man

Hold with every muscle that you can

It’s the closest you could ever feel to free

Sometimes I wish I could be anyone other than me

But then I just breathe, think about who I wanna be

I know I’m not around

I know I’ve let you down

But I want to be better for you

Let me do that now

You’re my favourite human

So you should be prepared

I’ll help you get through it

When you’re big and scared

Sadness will be par for the course

And you will feel hopeless, you’re a child of divorce

And you will feel like you can’t do it anymore

And one day you will try and you will fail to end it all

And that will be the saddest day you’ve ever felt before

But trust me when I say that you deserve to live for more

And when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders

Remember what I told you

I know I’m not around

I know I let you down

But I want to be better for you

Let me do that now

You’re my favourite human

So you should be prepared

I’ll help you get through it (Breathe)

When you’re big and scared

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

It’s way too much pressure

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

It’s way too much pressure, pressure
