5 Years Lyrics

Five years it's been since I held his hand and called someone else mine

Five years it's been being single and they say the world's all mine

Five years it's been I say and then I shake my head and smile

Five years, yeah, I guess that it has been a while

Five years of no time wasted and five years of endless patience

And five years working all the trauma out

Five years of self-loving and five years of learning something every day

Growing up and chasing dreams

Five years of feeling lonely but knowing I'm the only one

Whose love ever mattered anyway

Five years that I'd rather be alone than take another mistake home

Why haven't you found someone? They ask me all the time

Plenty have tried but I'm not a fan of wasting my own time

I'm here building brick by brick I'll be here till I die

And I'll only let you in if you can add more time

I sing you these songs about living on your own

but most of the time I don't know which way to go

I don't want just anyone and I'm terrified

That I'll never find a home in someone else's eyes

Five years of no time wasted and five years of endless patience

And five years working all the trauma out

Five years of self-loving and five years of learning something every day

Growing up and chasing dreams

Five years of feeling lonely but knowing I'm the only one

Whose love ever mattered anyway

Five years I've said I'd rather be alone

Maybe I'll take another mistake home
