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've moved 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, oh oh Your teenage nightmare, oh oh Hey little boy you wasted all your life Trying to be the best in class and now you're out of time Gotta drink away the feeling that these golden years have been a fucked up lie Wanna runaway and live the life I've 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 the 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 grow up small Don't ever think I'll move on from these broken high school halls So I guess I'll be your teenage nightmare, oh oh Your teenage nightmare, oh oh Hey! I burn everything that I 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 nothing's real at all Virginity and sanity I lost them in the fall So I guess I'll be your teenage nightmare, oh oh Your teenage nightmare, oh oh
