26 Lyrics

Can I tell you a story
′Bout a boy who broke his own heart?
And he always blamed everybody else
But the truth is that he did it to himself
He made a couple song and they got big
And he thought that he could do whatever he wanted
But it all left him with a hole in his heart

Ooh, oo-ooh
Money buys you happiness
But, ooh, oo-ooh
It doesn't buy you time

The more that I get older
The less I wanna be sober
And I can′t quit, goddamit
And maybe I'm just broken
And I'll never admit it
But I wish that I was younger
Yeah, 26 and I′m rich
How the hell did it come to this?

And I wish I could tell you
Everything is perfect, but it′s not
I've been starin′ at the ceilin' for like ten days
But I′m pretty sure that I forgot
What it's like to be a person that doesn′t think
That everything he does just sucks
Ooh, it's a perfect world until it's not

Ooh, oo-ooh
Money buys you happiness
But, ooh, oo-ooh
It doesn′t buy you time

The more that I get older
The less I wanna be sober
And I can′t quit, goddamit
And maybe I'm just broken
And I′ll never admit it
But I wish that I was younger
Yeah, 26 and I'm rich
How the hell did it come to this?

The more that I get older
The less I wanna be sober
Yeah, 26 and I′m rich
How the hell did it come to this?
