I should just be quiet
I put my foot in my mouth
These days much too often
I come off as ungrateful
But I'm thankful for a lot
So why do I try so hard?
I think I could use somebody
To tell me I'm doin' fine
To tell me I'll get there someday
Think that I'm much too old
To ever amount to something
My mom says, "That's pretty dumb
You turn 25 next month
And you still got time
You've still got a lot of time"
I can't hear the silence
My mind is always racing
To get up ahead
My therapist said
Rest is important
Take breaks and be patient
You don't always have to work so hard
Please sleep beforе you're dead
So why do I try so hard?
I think I could use somеbody
To tell me I'm doin' fine
To tell me I'll get there someday
Think that I'm much too old
To ever amount to something
My mom said, "That's pretty dumb
You turn 25 next month
And you still got time
You've still got a lot of time"
And if I peaked in high school
Then maybe I wouldn't care
But I was just another queer kid
And I thought that I'd be dead
By the time that I turned 20
Guess I'm pushing all my luck
Living past my life expectancy
'Cause trans kids normally don't get this far
That's why I try so hard
Think I could use somebody
To tell me I'm doin' fine
To tell me I'll get there someday
Think that I'm much too old
To ever amount to something
My mom said, "That's fucking stupid
You turn 25 next month
And you've still got time
You've still got a lot of time"
