23

I'm sinking deeper

I'm falling farther all alone

And I'm trying to find a way out

Faith runs thinner

Each day's a page ripped off the wall

That I'm never gonna get back

Heaven knows this ain't

Where I thought I'd be

I hoped I'd make it by the time that I turned 23

It's me against myself

In a world where no one else

Really gets the way I am

I won't be 23 again

Give me a reason

Give me a home and guiding light

When I'm faced with the dark time

But you say, "be patient"

"Keep holding hope

It just takes time

And you will be all right"

Heaven knows this ain't

Where I thought I'd be

I hoped I'd make it by the time that I turned 23

It's me against myself

In a world where no one else

Really gets the way I am

I won't be 23 again

And if I got my way

Of living out my dream

I'm sure that I'd be just as confused

Of who I'm supposed to be

It's me against myself

And I have nobody else

To get the way I am

I wont be

I wont be

23 again

I wont be

I wont be
