[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm gettin' ol
der, I think I
'm agin' well
I wish someone
had told me I
'd be doin' th
is by myself
There's reason
s that I'm tha
nkful, there's
a lot I'm gra
teful for
But it's diffe
rent when a st
ranger's alway
s waitin' at y
our door
Which is ironi
c 'cause the s
trangers seem
to want me mor
e
Than anyone be
fore (Anyone b
efore)
Too bad they
're usually de
ranged
Last week, I r
ealized I crav
e pity
When I re-tell
a story, I ma
ke everything
sound worse
Can't shake th
e feeling that
I'm just bad
at healing
And maybe that
's the reason
every sentence
sounds rehear
sed
Which is ironi
c because when
I wasn't hone
st
I was still be
in' ignored (L
yin' for atten
tion, just to
get neglection
)
Now we're estr
anged
[Chorus]
Things I once
enjoyed
Just keep me e
mployed now
Things I'm lon
ging for
Someday, I'll
be bored of
It's so weird
That we care s
o much, until
we don't
[Verse 2]
I'm gettin' ol
der, I've got
more on my sho
ulders
But I'm gettin
' better at ad
mitting when I
'm wrong
I'm happier th
an ever, at le
ast, that's my
endeavor
To keep myself
together and
prioritize my
pleasure
'Cause to be h
onest, I just
wish that what
I promise
Would depend o
n what I'm giv
en (Not on his
permission)
(Wasn't my dec
ision) To be a
bused, mm
[Chorus]
Things I once
enjoyed
Just keep me e
mployed now
Things I'm lon
ging for
Someday, I'll
be bored of
It's so weird
That we care s
o much, until
we don't
[Outro]
But next week,
I hope I'm so
mewhere laughi
n'
For anybody as
king, I promis
e I'll be fine
I've had some
trauma, did th
ings I didn't
wanna
Was too afraid
to tell ya, b
ut now, I thin
k it's time
