Twenty Twenties Lyrics

I was hoping

That I’d see you

I’d get to hug u

In the twenty twenties

Even though you’d

Rather not be

You’d be smiling

In the twenty twenties

Pretending that we're unaware

How bad things are

Like they're not there

No

The one who always had my back

Who fought my fights

Is backing down

But

I don't even know

I can't express how much

I thank you for the things

You've taught me all my life

You don't even know

How brave you were alive

I promise you'll always be with me

Even when they say you've died

Mom found the notes that

You have left

The things that

You have said

Oh god

The cookies are missing, just the taste

I'm missing your embrace

Oh god

Pretending everything is the same

Distracted by the things we say

But what about her?

What about her, now?

Who’s to say you’re better now

I’ll make this song a pitch to god

So god, please

What about her, 'cause

I don't even know

I can't express how much

I thank you for the things

You've taught me all my life

You don't even know

How brave you were alive

I promise you'll always be with me

Even when they say you've died

And maybe it's for the best

You're not in this whole mess

Cause you are too good

You wouldn't deserve this

And I know I could never

In a thousand years or ever

Write everything there is about you

Do justice to my most precious

I was hoping

That I’d see her

I’d get to hug her

In the twenty twenties

Even though she’d

Rather not be

She’d be smiling

In the twenty twenties
