25

[Verse 1]
Abby planned her wedding in her science notebook during class
And John would be in the Olympics, 'cause no one else could run that fast
And Hailey was the smartest, so her dad bought her a Harvard shirt
But I wasn't makin' plans like they were
I was tryin' just to make it through another day, another fight
'Cause why would I have thought ahead if I was always gonna die?
I pushed away my friends and sister
Missed my prom 'cause I just figured
I'd never see another side
And now I'm here and changed my mind, but

[Chorus]
I don't know how to livе now that I wanna be alive
'Cause I nеver really saw me livin' past twenty-five (twenty-five)

[Verse 2]
I was busy hidin' and changin' who I was to fit
See if anyone would buy it 'cause god knows that I never did
Growin' up took a long time, but the rest of life is longer
And the second I made it mine, it stopped gettin' harder, but

[Chorus]
I don't know how to live now that I wanna be alive (ooh)
'Cause I never really saw me livin' past twenty-five (twenty-five)

[Bridge]
I can see a world where candles on a cake are not a countdown
The friends I make will stick around
I'll look at my face and actually feel proud
Watch my sister's kids get older
Fall in love, let my heart break
No matter where I'm gonna go
I know I'm not goin' away, but

[Chorus]
I don't know how to live now that I wanna be alive
'Cause I never really saw me livin' past twenty-five
Twenty-five
