Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They look for picture perfect

Don't look deeper than the surface

Bubblegum always pops

And stars, they fade out, life never stops

[PreChorus]

I don't do what Simon says

Get the message 'cause it's read

That's just life, it never plays fair

Said to follow any dream

Be a puppet on a string

Works for you but that isn't me

[Chorus]

This ain't another pop song 'bout falling in love

Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs

No more singing songs 'bout breaking my heart

And my lonely nights dancing in the dark

If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever

I'll take it all 'cause anything is better

Than another pop song 'bout falling in love

But if you wanna sing along say

I don't give a what

[Verse 2]

A hamster on a wheel

That's how it feels tryna be real

These unrealistic expectations

Said we'll make it if we fake it

[PreChorus]

I don't do what Simon says

Get the message 'cause it's read

That's just life, it never plays fair

Said to follow any dream

Be a puppet on a string

Works for you but that isn't me

[Chorus]

This ain't another pop song 'bout falling in love

Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs

No more singing songs 'bout breaking my heart

And my lonely nights dancing in the dark

If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever

I'll take it all 'cause anything is better

Than another pop song 'bout falling in love

But if you wanna sing along say

I don't give a what

[Bridge]

No broken bottles

Or glitter on the floor from the night before

Ain't no boy troubles

If that's what you came here for

Then you should know that

[Chorus]

This ain't another pop song 'bout falling in love

Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs

No more singing songs 'bout breaking my heart

And my lonely nights dancing in the dark

If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever

I'll take it all 'cause anything is better

Than another pop song 'bout falling in love

But if you wanna sing along say

I don't give a what

[Outro]

Not a pop song

I don't give a what

Not a pop song

But if you wanna sing along say

I don't give a what
