I'm still a bad person

I've just got pretty eyes

And an addiction to rubbing my ego out every night

I'm such a bad time

I overthink I overuse

I'm just the gay friend in every indie film that you hate

About a rockstar

But still

I took myself to prom I tried hard to whiten my teeth

To make myself look better for the pictures my dad will take

To remember what life was like in two thousand and fifteen when we were all together

I said

Mom I don't wanna go to school I just wanna be a rockstar

I'm not fucked up from all the movеs I just like the way my voice sounds in my car

Dad I don't wanna get a job I just wanna be a big shot

I had a dream or two of who I wanna be and I know it's not

What you want

Cause I just wanna be a rockstar

So I throw house parties till my parent comes home

And then I stay up at night because my mom's on the phone

Yelling at dad on the line about the red in my eyes

And how our therapy jar is just enough to pay for three

College degrees

And a rockstar

And a rockstar

I said

Mom I don't wanna go to school I just wanna be a rockstar

I'm not fucked up from all the moves I just like the way my voice sounds in my car

Dad I don't wanna get a job I just wanna be a big shot

I had a dream or two of who I wanna be and I know it's not what you want

Cause I just wanna be a rockstar

I just wanna be a rockstar

I throw my pills away so I can be a rockstar

Milk my parent's split so I can be a rockstar

Push my friends away so I can be a rockstar

Call my pain a gain so I can be a rockstar

Cause I just wanna be a rockstar

Cause I just wanna be a rockstar

A rockstar

I wanna be a rockstar
