I thought I’d die at seventeen
So why am I afraid
To accept I'm not perfectly
My dreams from seventh grade
I'm making up some fantasies
To stop the bills I pay
Cause’ once I move on mentally
I’ve slept my youth away
Tell me what’s wrong
With the world
Cause’ I’ve been turned
So cynical
Someone call mom
Life just hurts
And I need
Some medical
Can somebody please hear me when I say the pretty lies
That nothing ever matters and someday we’re gonna die
So I guess I’ll be your teenage nightmare
Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)
Hey little boy you wasted all your life
Trying to be best in class and now you’re out of time
Gonna drink away this feeling that these golden years have been a fucked up lie
Wanna runaway and live the life I missed
I’ve been searching for that feeling of eternal bliss
Look at this high achiever turn into a self-loathing narcissist
It’s the last prom
And I'm queen of
Land of broken dreams
Give me my crown
And I’ll sleep
Till’ the edge of seventeen
Society fucked all my dreams and made me feel so small
Don’t ever think I’ll move on from these broken high school halls
So I guess I’ll be your teenage nightmare
Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)
Hey! I burn everything I that touch
And I still don’t know how to self-love
And I think I'm insane but ain’t that the fucking world
Hey! And by the time I grow old
We’ll be fucked and ready to blow
So might as well go insane and blow our brains while we can
Teenage dreams are make believe when nothings real at all
Virginity and sanity I lost them in the fall
So I guess I'm be your teenage nightmare
Your teenage nightmare (oh oh)
