[Verse 1]
I wish that I knew what I wanted
There's too many ways to be wrong
Afraid I'll end up bein' sorry
'Cause you can't take it off, can't try it on
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I wanna be that girl
Who does it all to plan
But I'm only halfway in
'Cause I'm
[Chorus]
A daughter, a sister
A wide-eyed fence sitter
If I'm happy with the things I have
Then why do I still have to ask
If I'm ready, worthy?
If I go home early
I don't wanna end up lookin' back
And wish I had a life like that
[Post-Chorus]
If it's one thing or the other
Do I wanna be a mother?
[Verse 2]
How am I supposed to know
The way I want my life to go
When I am still growin' up?
[Pre-Chorus]
Five more years, maybe I'll be ready then
When the music stops, bet I'm gonna need a friend
Oh, I wanna be that girl
[Chorus]
A daughter, a sister
A wide-eyed fence sitter
If I'm happy with the things I have
Then why do I still have to ask
If I'm ready, worthy?
If I go home early
I don't wanna end up lookin' back
And wish I had a life like that
[Post-Chorus]
If it's one thing or the other
Do I wanna be a mother?
[Bridge]
And I'm scared to death
I'm gonna lose myself or have regrets
But what if it makes everything make sense?
What if it makes everything make sense, make sense?
Make sense
[Chorus]
A daughter, a sister
A wide-eyed fence sitter
If I'm happy with the things I have (Why?)
Then why do I still have to ask
If I'm ready, worthy?
If I go home early
I don't wanna end up lookin' back
And wish I had a life like that
[Post-Chorus]
If it's one thing or the other
Do I wanna be a mother?
