Just a Phase Video (MV)

Puberty, 8th grade, summervibes, double checked, if she looks alright to meet her crush
Losing sleep, holiday, lonely nights, flashbacks, she's hooked to tight, feels her blush

Sure Mum and Dad know what to do, how to behave
Tell Mum and Dad, I'm coming out, so listen now, and I'm not straight

And they say: "It's just a phase, so sit down and listen close
That girl is just a friend; it's a man, you're bringing home
Have faith we know what's good for you, honey
And if you wanna play that game, just be told that you will lose
Our family is in pain, just because of what you choose
You're still young, don't know what's right."

Messed up, fill her lungs in the cold of the night as she strolls in the woods with a carving knife
Love sucks when you're young, when you're told "clear your mind, take control of your love, don't waste your life."
Thought Mum and Dad knew what to do, how to behave
Tell Mum and Dad, I'm coming out, don't hold back now, and I'm not straight

And they say: "It's just a phase, so sit down and listen close
That girl is just a friend; it's a man, you're bringing home
Have faith we know what's good for you, honey
And if you wanna play that game, just be told that you will lose
Our family is in pain, just because of what you choose
You're still young, don't know what's right."

Looking for some privacy in panopticum-society
Craving freedom as she feels someone is keeping her in chains
Busting out, run for love, can't stand no more what they say above
Being told that when you're older, it'll be over, it's just a phase

And they say: "It's just a phase, so sit down and listen close
That girl is just a friend; it's a man, you're bringing home
Have faith we know what's good for you, honey
And if you wanna play that game, just be told that you will lose
Our family is in pain, just because of what you choose
You're still young, don't know what's right."
"And in the streets you're holding hands, then the neighbours start to talk
Think about grandma, do you have to break her heart?
Have faith we know what's good for you, honey
It doesn't matter what you feel, go ahead and make us proud
You're still young, don't know what's right."
