Just keep doing what I'm doing
And keep convincing everybody that they're wrong
And that's what I'll do, cause I always do it
But I'm just tired
I haven't seen my childhood friends in two years
And I far they might have forgotten my name
Cause everybody knows that that changed, like me
I'm clinging to my childhood dreams
I made real
But still feel that I'll never shine like the stars
I'm still just a kid that makes art
And nobody knows that I'm crying on Tuesday's
And just trying to get out of bed
My sink drain is broken
My bank account's frozen
Adulting is not what they said
Somebody hold me, are all 20 something's this lonely?
I'm falling apart and I can't call my mom 'cause she knows me too well
I can't let it out 'cause it feels like hell
Someone hold me, I know that I can't be the only one who's a mess
'Cause adulting is kids all just trying their best
We do what we can and then bullshit the rest
That's adulting
Haven't had the strength to go home in six months
And not once have I sent a text to my dad
He probably thinks that I'm dead
Mmm-mmm
But he doesn't know that I'm dying on Wednesday's
And just trying to get out of bed
My sink drain is broken
My bank account's frozen
I still can't get out of my head
Somebody hold me, are all 20 something's this lonely?
I'm falling apart and I can't call my mom 'cause she knows me too well
I can't let it out 'cause it feels like hell
Someone hold me, I know that I can't be the only one who's a mess
'Cause adulting is kids all just trying their best
We do what we can and then bullshit the rest
That's adulting
Hold me, I know that I can't be the only
Are all 20 something's this lonely?
Hold me
I haven't seen my childhood friends in two years
But they're here wherever I'm going insane
If nobody told you today
You're gonna be okay
