Olivia O'Brien - Quarter Century Blues Lyrics

Olivia O'Brien Lyrics

"Quarter Century Blues"

I've been getting hungrier
Walking at an incline
Staring at the mirror
Tracing out a thin line
My friends are getting smaller
Withering away now

It's hard to be yourself
So they follow every trend
Keep changing who they are
Until they hate who they have been
So afraid of falling
Out with the in crowd

I've got quarter-century blues
I thought I outgrew
Fuck

I'm so tired of hating myself
Just 'cause I had to loosen my belt
Just 'cause I'm not who I thought I would be by now
I'm so tired of wasting my time
Tryna pretend I have a perfect life
Just 'cause I'm not who I thought I would be by now
Who I thought I would be by now

Been writing in my journal
And saying affirmations
That's why I'm so confused
Where are my manifestations?
All of these pages
Full of stuff that I never did

Looking back at photos
Of the things I used to hate
Never thought that I was pretty
Maybe now it's just too late
Yeah, I could never see it
But man, I was just a kid

I've got quarter-century blues
I thought I outgrew
Fuck

I'm so tired of hating myself
Just 'cause I had to loosen my belt
Just 'cause I'm not who I thought I would be by now
I'm so tired of wasting my time
Tryna pretend I have a perfect life
Just 'cause I'm not who I thought I would be by now

I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
Who I thought I would be by now
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
Who I thought I would be by now

I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
I'm so tired of hating myself
I'm so tired of wasting my time
