[Verse 1]
Birthday candle, burnt to smoke
Mirror says I’m still that joke
Twenty-five and out of road
Same old town, same heavy coat
I keep my keys in a cereal box
Empty sink and a dead phone clock
You said time would make me wise
It only taught me how to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
And I laugh too loud
In the checkout line
But my ribs feel small
Like a doghouse in the rain
[Chorus]
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine”
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
I’m still here, but I’m not alright
(so not alright)
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine”
[Verse 2]
Basement room and a thrift-store bed
Old band shirt and a buzzing head
Friends got plans and I got locks
Pills in a drawer and a cracked-screen watch
I trace your name on a greasy tray
Then I wipe it off like it’s gonna stay
If growing up means learning loss
I guess I’m rich in what it costs
[Pre-Chorus]
And I smile for show
With my teeth clenched tight
But the whole damn house
Feels too big at night
[Chorus]
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine”
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
I’m still here, but I’m not alright
(so not alright)
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine”
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not broken
Maybe just bruised
Maybe I’m a lightbulb
Left on in the blue
If I shout your name
Will the walls reply?
Or just leave me hanging
In the static of my life
[Final Chorus]
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine”
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
I’m still here, but I’m not alright
(so not alright)
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
Twenty-five, don’t call me “fine"
Twenty-five never felt so lonely
I’ll live through this, one ugly night
