Worst Days

I've come a long way from seventeen
The aftermath of teenage dreams
Lived in rock bottom at 22
Back when I said it's not me, it's you
But then I went to therapy
And I faced problems caused by me
I spent all summer on the couch
Still makes me sad thinking about
How I lost friends I had before my first kiss
How no one even seemed to miss me
I hope they're doing well these days
Need to remind myself and say

Don't make promises you can't keep
Only say the things that you mean
I think I've learned a thing or two
I still have a lot to lose
I've lived through every one of my worst days
I still cry every year on my birthday
Loving myself? I'm still learning
While the world just keeps on turning

I dated someone I couldn't fix
I became someone I'll never miss
haven't put myself out there since
I wrote a thousand songs about it
All the cliches about safes and keys, my heart on my sleeve
Live in notebooks nobody will ever read
I hope these songs find their way to somebody like me

Stop showing up to places late
Now and then go on a date
Love can be a scary thing
But it's a drink, not a diamond ring
I've lived through every one of my worst days
I still cry every year on my birthday
Loving myself? I'm still learning
While the world just keeps on turning
And it goes round and round and round
And round and round and round and round
Round and round
