Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk, I dance like me dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
And early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss, but without the makeup
And that's a good line to take it to the bridge
[Verse 2]
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
So before I'm old, I'll confess
[Verse 3]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song
My song, my song
[Verse 4]
My bed's full of takeaways
Of fantasies of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real? 'Cause I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey, Ricki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know
[Verse 5]
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And it's starting to show
So before I'm old, I'll confess
[Verse 6]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song
My song, my song
[Verse 7]
If I did it all again, I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young, we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
[Verse 8]
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
Ahh, hey
[Verse 9]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song
My song, my song
[Verse 10]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song
My song, my song
[Verse 11]
Life's too short to be afraid
(You think that I'm strong)
So take a pill to numb the pain
(You're wrong, you're wrong)
You don't have to take the blame
[Verse 12]
Life's too short to be afraid
(I'll sing my song)
So take a pill to numb the pain
(My song, my song)
You don't have to take the blame
[Verse 13]
Life's too short to be afraid
(You think that I'm strong)
So take a pill to numb the pain
(You're wrong, you're wrong)
You don't have to take the blame
[Verse 14]
Life's too short to be afraid
(I'll sing my song)
So take a pill to numb the pain
(My song, my song)
You don't have to take the blame
