"TWENTIES" lyrics

"TWENTIES"

How was I supposed to know
This is how it's gonna go?
Thought that if I put you first enough
We would last for sure, last for sure (For sure)
Remember our first kiss was in a rental car
Now I kinda wish it was a hit-and-run
Crazy I let it get this far
But I was just young and dumb

Six years gone down the drain
I guess I'm half to blame
I didn't know, I didn't know I'd be wasting my time

Spending my twenties on you (Oh)
I poured my heart in it
Don't get me started
Spend my time wondering why
I spent my twenties on you

Thought I was learning myself
I was just learning you
Is anything black and white
When you're barely twenty-two?
Clung onto you like a shirt to a sweater
Hung onto you 'cause I didn't know better
I just feel like time was running out
I can tell the ship was going down
I was so young and dumb

Six years gone down the drain
I guess I'm half to blame
I didn't know, I didn't know I'd be wasting my time

Spending my twenties on you (Oh)
I poured my heart in it
Don't get me started
Spend my time wondering why
I spent my twenties on you, oh
I poured my heart in it
Don't get me started
Spend my time wondering why
I spent my twenties on you
