A 28 Year Overnight Success Story - CYRUS

I tried

You did pretty well, considering

I turned 28, I’m a big man

Guess I missed the club, guess I missed my chance

I was younger once, now I’m older than

Someone that I used to look up to

And I think I might be

And I think I might be

And I think I might be

A 28 year love song

Just a 28 year old love song

Just a 28

Just a 28 year long love song

Just a 28

Seem like everybody’s going, I wish 'em well

I’ve been treating every puddle like a wishing well

Used to list all the things that I wanted to be, but

Then I became me, and I think, yeah

I’m a really long love song

Just a 28 year long love song

This is where I come in, pick up where I left off

I could take off running, but, I’d rather hit that catwalk

I’ve been on some «me» shit, you’ve been on some «we» shit

Who the hell is «we» you speaking French? Well, C’est la vie then

Je t’aime bébé, now just say it back and mean it

Why you always keeping all these truths behind some secrets?

I’ve been doing too much, feel like Ryan Seacrest

I might go an hour on this beat just to delete it

Might think I’m conceited, might think I don’t know shit

I just know my value and that number’s getting so big

I could fit like all hats, I ain’t doing no tricks

This shit isn’t Tony Hawk underground, but I’m grounded

I might cop a Tesla, I feel like Elon Musk

Might be almost 30, but, I feel young as fuck

If it’s mine I earned it, none of this was luck

But they’re still gonna say that I’m just, yeah

And maybe I’m the person that you said I was

Another fucking leech inside your reservoir

I guess I’m just a fuck up, if you say so

I guess I’m just somebody on your payroll

I guess I’m just somebody you can push aside

I guess I’m just a petal to your pesticide

I guess I had to leave to finally realize

That all your lack of hunger feeds my appetite

And I don’t want a bite, I want the whole slice

Wait, no, I take that back, I want the whole pie

I work too fucking hard to not be recognized

As someone that would give his all to say he tried

I’ve seen too many people not do anything

Just to turn around and ask you to give everything

I swear to God I almost did that

Just for somebody to tell me I ain’t do enough

I guess I’m…
