28 Lyrics

When you first told me about her

You said she was 30

And I just can't help but think

You knew it was dirty

And maybe you were just a little sad

But there's no excuse to lie to me like that

When you first told me about her

You said she was 30

But she's only 28

I'm not even half her age

She probably just had her first high school reunion

You're probably the first one she's ever moved in with

You think that I wanna hate

But you set me up this way

So, for my health, I'll bе blocking your number

'Cause you couldn't wait 'til I got a bit older

And somеtimes I kinda feel like I want to forgive

But it never crossed your mind that maybe I'm still a kid

And I'm so used to being the adult

Even when you say it's not your fault

But I'm kinda getting sick and tired of crying

So, please, stop lying and lying, and lying

She's only 28

I'm not even half her age

She probably just had her first high school reunion

You're probably the first one she's ever moved in with

You think that I wanna hate

But you set me up this way

So, for my health, I'll be blocking your number

'Cause you couldn't wait 'til I got a bit older

To tell me she was 28

What the *fuck* is 28?

You said she's mature

So that makes it okay

And you said she likes sports

So that makes it okay

And she's actually pretty

So that makes it okay

But there's nothing you can say

That makes 28 okay to me

The lyrics of "28" explore a situation where the narrator's partner has lied about the age of another person they are involved with. The song delves into feelings of betrayal, anger, and the narrator's struggle to come to terms with the situation.

The song begins with the narrator recalling when their partner first mentioned the other person and claimed that they were 30 years old. The narrator questions their partner's intentions, suspecting that they knew the situation was inappropriate or "dirty." The partner's deception becomes evident when it is revealed that the other person is actually only 28 years old.

The chorus highlights the significant age difference between the narrator and the other person. The narrator emphasizes that they are not even half the age of the individual their partner has been involved with. The lyrics imply that the other person may have recently experienced milestones like a high school reunion, while the narrator's partner might be the first person they have ever moved in with.

The narrator has often taken on the role of the adult in the relationship, and they express weariness from crying and being deceived repeatedly. They request that their partner stops lying.

The bridge intensifies the frustration and disbelief of the narrator. They question the significance of the age 28 and sarcastically list qualities that their partner may have used to justify their actions.
