26 Lyrics

Golden 26 but it's something I'm not really proud

Because it's not happiness that I should out loud

A lotta thoughts in my mind, stuck in a fallen den

Thinkin' about the past, wonderin' where I could've been

At 18, with so full of dreams and so many plans

By this time I thought I'd have it all in hand, yet here I am

Reality hit so hard, a tidal wave awake

Path so twisted, never thought they would have paved

People I know they're just living life

Big careers, married with kids, they just turned out fine

But for me, stuck in the same place that seem to not replace

Still tryna find my purpose, my saving grace

Thought I would travel the world, see every sight

But I'm stuck here trying to make it through the night, yeah

Even with jobs that I hate, bills keep piling high

With all this struggles just to get on by

The relationships I've been through, they've come and they've gone

The heartaches within 'em, wish they do not belong

I thought by now I'd have someone by my side

But loneliness creeps in no matter how hard I've tried

Family gatherings they ask about my future

I act like a trooper, but inside I'm like a blooper

Am I a disappointment? Am I really not enough?

These thoughts taunt me, they make everything so tough

But through it all, the tears and all the pain

I try to find the strength just to rise and gain

The hardships I've been through are all stepping stones

Which would bring me to a place where I don't have to feel alone

Another year flies by, so here's to fucking 26

I'll press on despite the shadows that you can't miss

Not everything is clear, now that's a fact I know

But I'll persist, cuz that's the way to help me grow
