I was meant to be someone
Someone who's not like me
I was meant to be someone
Who's confident at birthday parties
I was ready to enjoy
Never feeling more secure
No one told me all I knew
Bout life would be destroyed
Replaced with paranoia
And a voice I can't ignore
Baiting me to start from the ground floor
Late twenties are doing bad things to me
Digging up dirt and leaving me with debris
No one told me the older the more anxiety
Not much I know, know, know, know
In my late twenties
I'm good with new people
Not the ones who really know me
If they get too close they'll see
I'm insecure and that could hurt me
It's ugly but it's true
I didn't feel this way at twenty two
Get too close and you may see that
I don't fit the shoe
I'll make you think I do
All talk no follow through
I'd love to give myself a talking to
Late twenties are doing bad things to me
Digging up dirt and leaving me with debris
No one told me the older the more anxiety
Not much I know, know, know, know
In my late twenties
Evaluating all these broken battles
That I thought that I'd already won
Once was fearless
Now I cling to safety
Knowing these are my own lies I've spun
Late twenties are doing bad things to me
Digging up dirt and leaving me with debris
No one told me the older the more anxiety
Not much I know, know, know, know
In my late twenties
