I′m terrified of rejection

But I get high off attention

I drink my coffee light'Cause I′m not fucking pretentious

Say that I read for fun

But haven't read in months

Say that I'm settling down

But I blacked out at brunch

I swear sixteen was yesterday

But now I′m closer to twenty-eight

I′m focusing all of my energy on just staying awake

Oh, I don't mean to keep

Making it about me

Everybody feels like this at twenty-three

I know I′m not unique

But I'm a drama queen

I don′t know why I'm surprised

It′s just a quarter life crisis

I'm constantly symptomatic

Mom says it's psychosomatic

That I′m the girl that cried headache

I′m melodramatic as hell

Where's all the talent that I had last decade?

Another "gifted kid" that burned out in the tenth grade

Swear that feels like yesterday

I′m just a tired old cliché

I'm focusing all of my energy on just being okay

Oh, I don′t mean to keep

Making it about me

Everybody feels like this at twenty-three

I know I'm not unique

But I′m a drama queen

I don't know why I'm surprised

It′s just a quarter life crisis

Mm, oh

It′s just a quarter life crisis

And I just found out that someone from my high school is dead

And another one is married with a kid

And the rest are all lying on the internet

I fall for it every time

It feels like I'm falling behind

I don′t mean to keep

Making it about me

Everybody feels like this at twenty-three

I know I'm not unique

But I′m a drama queen, oh

I don't mean to keep

Making it about me

Everybody feels like this at twenty-three

I know I′m not unique

But I'm a drama queen

I don't know why I′m surprised

It′s just a quarter life

Everybody feels like this

It's a quarter life

I don′t know why I'm surprised

It′s just a quarter life crisis
