Only 25

(album: just calling to tell you i'm ok - 2023)

I've made a lot of mistakes, in my life
And I'm only on the cusp of twenty-five
I put my heart on my sleeve, I did it too many times
But I thought you were the one thing I got right

And I just held on hopelessly
Wondering if we're meant to be
But I can't stand the sight of you tonight
And if I know what's good for me
Then I'll just pack my bags and leave
There's no use putting up a fight
'Cause I'm nearly twenty-five

Guess what I'm trying to say is I'm growing up
I'm working on myself while you're out getting drunk
Oh, 'cause there are people who saw a change in me
And when I let you go it brought back a light in me
Oh cause I know the price I paid
I've spoken to therapists about it
And I'm just calling to tell you I'm gonna be okay

'Cause I just held on hopelessly
I wondered if we're meant to be
I couldn't stand the sight of you that night
And if I know what's good for me
Then I'll just pack my bags and leave
There's no use putting up a fight
'Cause I'm nearly twenty-five

'Cause you gave me life then you sucked it right from me
I know it was hard, I know that you loved me
In another life we could've been happy
So you keep the bed and I'll keep the memories of it

And I just held on hopelessly
Wondered if we're meant to be
I couldn't stand the sight of you that night
And if I know what's good for me
Then I'll just pack my bags and leave
There's no use putting up a fight
'Cause I'm only twenty-five
I'm only twenty-five
