Sara Kays - Future Kids [Official Lyric Video]

Lyrics
when i was a kid i made a book
planning out how my future would look
i drew in pictures of houses with views
2 swings in the backyard, one pink & one blue
now that i’m older i wish i could see
a world where that still made sense to me

cause if my future kids end up like me
they won’t get to sleep
earlier than 3
they’ll be thinking bout how they can be
better than they are
taking it too far
trying to change the things i love the most about them
and i don’t think i could ever stand to see that happen

i was too young when i picked out their names
and wrote them at the top of every page
cause i didn’t know i would grow up to hate
the way that i look & my size & my shape
i wish i could make sure that they’d never see
themselves in the same way that i see me

cause if my future kids end up like me
they won’t get to sleep
earlier than 3
they’ll be thinking bout how they can be
better than they are
taking it too far
trying to change the things i love the most about them
and i don’t think i could ever stand to see that happen

i’ll keep the book in a safe place
cause i’m not quite ready to throw it away

cause if my future kids end up like me
they won’t get to sleep
earlier than 3
they’ll be thinking bout how they can be
better than they are
taking it too far
trying to change the things i love the most about them
and i don’t think i could ever stand to see that happen

[shaefelkner]

who else cried in this song realizing the pain it would put you through to see your own kids like that

[saramaximo]

I'm convinced that sara is a synonym for talent

[shaefelkner]

Who else would give anything to listen to all of her music for the first time again.

[Brigidsmyth]

I haven’t even finished the song and I’m already obsessed with it 🥺🥺 it’s amazing Sara

[Sophirathatsme]

My favorite thing about her songs is how people can relate to it show them they're are not the only person having a hard time with Depression, ED, family problems or just life in general. It makes her stand out more from other artists(that I listen too)

[manjaripathak]

If her future kids end up like her, they’d be bringing so much happiness to others :”)

[Marina-tntz]

Dear future kids,
If you ever read this... I want you to know that I love you. If you ever happen to feel the way I do, I want you to know that I'm so proud of you for being this strong. I'm proud of you regardless your sexuality, gender, grades, and everything you may think I don't like about you. I want you to know that I've also been broken. That I've also cried in the bathroom in the middle of a family dinner because of a tiny comment made by your grandma (my mother). I've also embarrassed myself. I've also been insecure about everything (my body included). I've also starved myself because I wished my waist was thinner. I've also been anxious about everything, causing me to overthinking every single night. God, I've even been a little suicidal. I didn't trust my mother and maybe you shouldn't trust me, too. Maybe I'm a bad mother. Maybe I'm a good mother. Maybe you feel like I hate you. Or like I love you too much. Maybe every morning you wake up wishing I didn't exist. Or wishing that I existed a little bit more. Or maybe, in the best case, I'm a good mother and you are having the greatest childhood ever, just because I didn't become like my own mother. No matter the situation, I think that the only way past Me can help you is by saying six little words:
*I love you.*
*I'm sorry.*

PS: I'm just curious, am I still obsessed with books?

[winter-on-mars]

"now that i'm older i wish i could see, a world that still made sense to me" when to us, homophobia and transphobia didn't exist and we didn't have to fight to be ourselves and not understand why people couldn't just let other people be happy. when my dad didn't choose drinking over being a father. when nothing felt wrong

[tonypena]

Not y’all saying you love the song when it was posted 5 seconds ago😭😭😭

[eris]

and I started crying so hard at 1:19 - 1:25 when she sings these words: I wish I could make sure that they’d never see
themselves in the same way that I see me...

[OverYearsOffgrid]

Just remember, as a parent you will understand the struggles your kids are going through because of this.

[nnash]

Sara is going to be such a compassionate Mother! I wish we all had someone in our lives who understood what we go though and still love us for who we are right then.

[delaneystacey]

when Sara Kays and Taylor Swift drops a song at the same time😩

[asma]

"I'll keep the book in a safe place
Cause I'm not quite ready to throw it away"

That's the exact same case for so many things happening in my life, I keep hiding stuffs and emotions in safe places in my heart claiming that I am not ready to set them free or as if it wasn't a big deal, until I have got no safe place for my own self... My consciousness itself is a problem

(it's 7 am here by the way😁😊)

[lexiespihlmann]

Can’t wait until you’re super famous and I can say I’ve been here since the beginning 😁

[jilllara]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN UPPPP

[ccappa]

To my future kids:
Remember you are a gift from God, and he created you for a reason. You have a purpose in this world! You might not see it now, but you will fulfill God's purpose for you because he will never do anything but good for you. It may seem hard sometimes, but it's all working for your good so you can grow into the person you will be. I love you.

[jilllara]

[lonely_potatoe]
