amen (the one take)

(album: Twenty Something - 2023)

Maybe I don't wanna get married
But I could see me in a white dress one day
Maybe the love of my life's all my friends
Amen

Maybe I been missing church lately
But I still get on my knees and pray
Maybe it's fine if I'm doing my best
Amen

And I'm sorry to my mama
But I'ma live the way I wanna
So I know this life was mine in the end
And I give myself permission
To go and make some bad decisions
'Cause I'm only trying to find out who I am
Amen
Amen, amen

Maybe I'ma buy my own house
Hang the chandelier on my own
Maybe I don't want a white picket fence
Amen

Maybe I'ma break hearts being selfish
'Cause I'll know when I know
I don't need a happy ending
Amen

And I'm sorry to my mama
But I'ma live the way I wanna
So I know this life was mine in the end
And I'm sorry to my hometown
I just couldn't let my dreams down
If I had to I would do it all again
Amen
Amen, amen

And I'm sorry to my mama
But I'ma live the way I wanna
So I know this life was mine in the end
And no, I ain't got all the answers
But I'm finding mine for damn sure
And I mean it, so I'm saying it again
Amen
