They say you grow in your 20's You become who you're meant to be And you see who you're meant to leave (yeah) They say you learn in your 20's That mama was always right (and) You should pick and choose every fight (yeah) Turns out It's all true Had to learn how to Live without you Never thought I'd make it through Back when I was 22 Without a clue of what you'd do When you walked out the front door Back when I believed in you When love was still shiny and new But now I'm stained and I know more At 24 They say you hurt in your 20's Thought you found the one who'd stay (turns out) He's another butt in the astray Sadly It's all true Tears over tattoos Haunting deja vu But I'll get over you Back when I was 22 Without a clue of what you'd do When you walked out the front door Back when I believed in you When love was still shiny and new But now I'm stained and I know more At 24 Flash back I'm 21 Dancing with everyone Pink candles birthday cake But I made one mistake You wouldn't look at me You wouldn't look at me I felt my heart drop I ran you said stop But I couldn't breathe And I couldn't leave And you couldn't see You were always mad at me Back when I was 22 You'd make me cry and I'd thank you For coming back to my front door Back when I just wanted you You flipped on me out of the blue I always stayed but I know more At 24 Now you're finally 22 The age I was when I lost you I hope you're stained and you learn before You're 24
