25

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 doing fine

To tell me I'll get there someday

I 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've 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 before you're dead

So why do I try so hard?

I think I could use somebody

To tell me I'm doing fine

To tell me I'll get there someday

I 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've 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 twenty

Guess I'm pushing all my luck

Living past my life expectancy

'Cause trans kids normally

Don't get this far

But that's why I try so hard

I think I could use somebody

To tell me I'm doing fine

To tell me I'll get there someday

I think that I'm much too old

To ever amount to something

My mom says that's fucking stupid

You turn 25 next month

And you've still got time

You've still got a lot of time
