lyrics

If it wasn't so beautiful I think I'd die
I have a hard time finding a reason why, why, why
Why try?

Well I thought it was love but it broke my heart
Then I thought maybe fun but I fell apart
So perhaps achievements but I've got a lot
They just sit in my cabinets and rot

So I thought adventure but I lost my way
Then maybe simplicity but it's just too plan
So perhaps it's books but I've read a few
And there's just too many for me to go through

So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue
So what's a girl to do
Only 21 and feeling so blue

Well I thought I could win but I lost the race
I got too excited and fell on my face
Now I'm back but I'm not the same
I used to love sunshine but now I love rain

So I decided it was booze and I drank away
I enjoyed the view but I knew I couldn't stay
Then I decided it was money and I worked every day
But I lost all my friends along the way

So I decided it was drugs and I did a lot
They pumped my stomach and told me to stop
Then I decided it was sex and I learned the moves
But I ended up feeling cheap and abused

So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue
So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue

I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But they all fell through

Well I guess I keep singing and searching for something
Cause it's all I know how to do
Yeah I guess I'll keep singing and searching for something
Cause it's all I know how to do
It's all I know how to do
It's all I know how to do
