Lyrics

[Intro]
I want it to be like, messy
[Verse 1]
I'm so insecure, I think
That I'll die before I drink
And I'm so caught up in the news
Of who likes me and who hates you
[Verse 2]
And I'm so tired that I might
Quit my job, start a new life
And they'd all be so disappointed
'Cause who am I if not exploited?
[Verse 3]
And I'm so sick of seventeen
Where's my fuckin' teenage dream?
If someone tells me one more time
"Enjoy your youth," I'm gonna cry
[Verse 4]
And I don't stick up for myself
I'm anxious, and nothing can help
And I wish I'd done this before
And I wish people liked me more
[Chorus]
All I did was try my best
This the kinda thanks I get?
Unrelentlessly upset
[Chorus]
They say these are the golden years
But I wish I could disappear
Ego crush is so severe
God, it's brutal out here
[Chorus]
Yeah
[Verse 5]
I feel like no one wants me
And I hate the way I'm perceived
I only have two real friends
And lately, I'm a nervous wreck
'Cause I love people I don't like
And I hate every song I write
And I'm not cool, and I'm not smart
And I can't even parallel park
[Chorus]
All I did was try my best
This the kinda thanks I get?
Unrelentlessly upset
[Chorus]
They say these are the golden years
But I wish I could disappear
Ego crush is so severe
God, it's brutal out here
[Chorus]
Yeah
[Outro]
Got a broken ego, broken heart
And God, I don't even know where to start
