I've gotten good at kicking bad habits It's misunderstood as giving up, abandonment Or anything else that i've been accused of Cuz everyone forgets i used to feel love But not any more, no i buried that weight Cuz the burden weighed more than my body could take Cuz when everybody hurts you it's a smile that you fake You never know how strong you are until you start to break I'm twenty something and i'm still alive Self medication is how i get by Still listen to "nimrod" when i'm getting high I'm twenty something, i'm doing just fine So on this anniversary, ten years to date I think of all my ex-lovers and the ones i couldn't save Cuz if i've learned a thing i'm the one who had to change You can't rely on someone whose problems stay the same And i've burnt down bridges, broke promises and lied But i'm good at keeping secrets, hold loyalty up high And i've got my best friends, try hard to protect them From what i've become, all fucked up and numb I'm twenty something and i'm still alive Self medication is how i get by Still listen to "nimrod" when i'm getting high I'm twenty something, i'm doing just fine I'm twenty something, i'm doing just fine I'm twenty something and i'm still alive
