"23" lyrics

I miss my sister and her coffee
She lives a thousand miles away from me
I told my mama that I'm sorry
For leaving my childhood house at twenty-three

Who would've thought
I'd wanna go back
To being a kid I've outgrown
Should've figured it out by now
There's still so much that I don't know

I'm scared to grow up
Hopin' I'll own up
To what I thought I'm supposed to be
I'm tryin' to get by
God, I'm so tired
Now I'm older than I used to be

Still I try, I dry all the cries to my whys
Finding answers through a movie screen
If this is all it's ever gonna be
Give me some l-o-v-e

I kept my first name, dropped his baggage claim
He'd punch walls for the sake of a household name
Raised by a narcissist
Ever since I was six
Got some resentment
I'm tryin' to fix

Ooh, I swear I'm shredding layers of who I once was
Losing time in somehow blaming my past
It's all up to me now
All up to me, I guess

I'm scared to grow up
Hopin' I'll own up
To what I thought I'm supposed to be
I'm tryin' to get by
Though I'm so tired
'Cause I'm older than I used to be

And still I try, I dry all the cries to my whys
Finding answers through your p-o-v
Is this all it's ever gonna be?
I'm only twenty-three
I'm only twenty-three

Twenty-three
Twenty-three
Twenty-three
Twenty-three
Twenty-three
Twenty-three
Love, love, love, love
Love
