[Halsey - 929 lyrics]
I really was born at 9: 29 AM on 9 29
You think I'm lying, but I'm
I'm being dead serious
(I gotta see this birth certificate)
Okay, I'll prove it
Well, who am I? I'm almost twenty-five
Can't remember half the time
That I've been alive
'Cause half was in a cheap apartment
And half was on the Eastside (Eastside)
They said don't meet your heroes
They're all fuckin' weirdos
And God knows that they were right
Because nobody loves you
They just try to fuck you
Then put you on a feature on the B-Side
And who do you call when it's late at night?
When the headlines just don't
Paint the picture right
When you look at yourself on a screen and say
"Oh my God, there's no way that's me"
And I, I quit smoking, well recently
I've tried and I bought another house
And I never go outside
And I remember this girl with
Pink hair in Detroit well, she told me
She said, "Ashley
You gotta promise us that you won't die
'Cause we need you, " and honestly
I think that she lied
And I remember the names of
Every single kid I've met
But I forget half the people
Who I've gotten in bed
And I've stared at the sky in Milwaukee
And hoped that my father
Would finally call me
And it's just these things that
I'm thinkin' for hours
And I'm pickin' my hair out
In clumps in the shower
Lost the love of my life to an ivory powder
But then I realize that I'm no higher power
That I wasn't in love then
And I'm still not now
And I'm so happy I figured that out
I've got a long way
To go until self-preservation
Think my moral compass is on a vacation
And I can't believe I still
Feed my fucking temptation
I'm still looking for my salvation
Soft and slow, watch the minutes go
Count out loud
So we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
Watch the minutes go count out loud
So we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
I think I have a confession to make
(So we know you don't)
I need to say that I was really born at 9: 26
I saw my birth certificate and I'm a liar
And I'm a fucking liar
Soft and slow, watch the minutes go
Count out loud
So we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
You think I'm lying, but I'm
I'm being dead serious
(I gotta see this birth certificate)
Okay, I'll prove it
Well, who am I? I'm almost twenty-five
Can't remember half the time
That I've been alive
'Cause half was in a cheap apartment
And half was on the Eastside (Eastside)
They said don't meet your heroes
They're all fuckin' weirdos
And God knows that they were right
Because nobody loves you

Then put you on a feature on the B-Side
And who do you call when it's late at night?
When the headlines just don't
