"teenage nightmare" lyrics

"teenage nightmare"

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
