Lyrics

My best years have gotta be ahead of me 'cause so far they've all been subpar
I've kept my nose way too clean fearing a life that might get hard
But it's hard anyway anyway anyway and now I'm scared of the dark
I let fear take the reins and now I can't trust my heart
23 years in front of a screen
23 years of a life unseen
23 years chasing a dream that's clearly given up on me
23 years have passed me by
23 years I've been too shy
23 years and I'm wondering why I just learned I'm allowed to cry
Learned I'm allowed to cry, learned I'm allowed to cry
And I just realized that
My best years have gotta be behind me 'cause my future don't look pretty
I've kept my nose way too clean and I don't see me changing a thing
'Cause I'm scared 'cause I'm scared 'cause I'm scared 'cause I'm scared
The future takes courage and I'm clearly unprepared
23 years I've been on a couch
23 Years I've been a grouch
23 years and I still slouch and I'm learning just now
That I am who I think you think I am
And that man to me seems to completely be a sham
Oh no I've gone the way of the sun
When it's done it runs from everyone
And when it's here it stands clear
Out of fear it'll seer those one's it holds dear
Oh no I've turned into the sun
When I'm done I run from everyone
And when I'm here I stand clear
Out of fear out of fear that I will seer those one's I hold so dear
