Lyrics
Tried to pull myself together at thirty
My twenties went up in smoke
You didn’t try to fix me baby
Here I am still broke
I went from lonely late nights
Into early morns
When I saw the other side of four
It came without warning
Went from sets of grave escapes
To no safer bets
Making all those narrow mistakes
Who needs regret?
Stuck in an endless groundhog day
Never making right
When I even try to try to change
All we do is fight
I went from lonely late nights
Into early morns
When I saw the other side of four
It came without warning
I wanna thank you for letting me be
Honest Abe no joke
I’m happy just being me
Sittin' here still broke
You didn’t try to fix me baby
Here I am still broke
