“Nineteen” is PinkPantheress' 9th track from her debut mixtape “to hell with it”. She talks about how she’s bored and alone at the age of 19 and how her family and friends have left her all alone.
[Verse 1]
Some days when I'm down just a little bit, I drop myself to the floor
It's not a problem if it hurts because I can't feel ache anymore
I only came back home because I wanted to see what's changed
And when I realise everyone's gone, but I still feel the same
[Chorus]
I wasn't meant to be
This bored at nineteen
My friend lived next to me
Now she won't wanna see
Me look differently
Now that I'm nineteen
[Verse 2]
And I wish that I could tell all my ex-jobs in retail

And the other one just told me that I've always got a frown
[Bridge]
My, my mind's alone because I'm alone
My mind's alone because I'm alone
(Enough the lot, I've had enough)

(I've had so much, I love to hate)
My mind's alone because I'm alone (The way I shaped because I'm hurt)
(And living rough)
[Chorus]
Wasn't meant to be (The gore, the pain)
(I've had so much, I love to hate)
(The way I shaped because I'm hurt and living rough)
This bored at nineteen
My friend lived next to me
Now she won't wanna see
Me look differently
Now that I'm nineteen

I didn’t want to do my uni course, I wanted to do music. I di...
