about

You know who you are, this one goes out to you

lyrics

Here I am at 23
Singing songs I wrote when I was 17
Hoping there is something I can be
Besides a girl who's scared of love at 23

Everyone I know is getting hitched
And having kids
Man life is such a bitch
There's nothing left and now my heart is on the ground
How can I scream these words when I can't make a sound

How can I find myself
When everyone thinks that I need help
Maybe this is just the age I'm in
I bitch and moan every night
And I hate all the words I write
I'm not comfortable in my own skin
I am screaming someone help me
Tell me what's wrong with me
And why I can't seem to be myself

I'm afraid to say that I'm in love
It's so cliche and so passe you're the one I'm "dreaming of"
This is all I'm really longing for
Someone who drinks
But also knows how to pour

All my friends had kids and moved away
I got drunk at the reception but never caught the bouquet
The irony was never lost on me
I just realized I never caught the real meaning

How can I find myself
When everyone thinks that I need help
Maybe this is just the age I'm in
I bitch and moan every night
And I hate all the words I write
I'm not comfortable in my own skin
I am screaming someone help me
Tell me what's wrong with me
And why I can't seem to be myself

Can't write a song to save my life
And can't help thinking that I'll die before I make a difference
Anywhere at all
And I can't even seem to try
To speak what is on my mind
When I am waiting for the last call

How can I find myself
When everyone thinks that I need help
Maybe this is just the age I'm in
I bitch and moan every night
And I hate all the words I write
I'm not comfortable in my own skin
I am screaming someone help me
Tell me what's wrong with me
And why I can't seem to be myself
