The lights are shining like a circus
On the dashboard of the car
It's something else, the way you make it seem like
Nothing's pulling us apart
No, nothing goes the way you plan it
And I knew that from the start
I'll never tell you what you mean to me by
Pouring out my brittle heart
Because I worry endlessly about how it might go
And I can't be just seventeen and already alone
I get by just fine like I am
At least that's what I say
And don't I know I built the dam
The one thing in my way
So goodbye to my teenage dream
The love I never knew
You know I'll miss you, don't you
At least I hope you do
The things I do to make it happen
All the superficial stuff
I can't believe what has become of me now
That I've started playing rough
It's no surprise now that I'm angry
Made to feel I'm not enough
Doesn't it seem I'm acting selfishly how
I'm so fake, but call your bluff
And now I'm twisted into someone scorned and out for blood
Because I thought I just might be worth something to someone
I get by just fine like I am
And now I know my place
And don't I know I built the dam
But didn't win the race
It's mine, the heightened honor of
The next spare to the throne
And it's hard to say it, you know
But now you're on your own
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I know I'm not the loser
But isn't this a losing game
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
A shaker and a mover
Too bad she'll never be the same
I can't just fall behind the curve
I drive towards next year or I swerve
Pretending like I have the nerve
It's sick and it's twisted but clever
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I know there is no winner
I know we're all on the same team
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
But it's still spot the sinner
Doesn't that make you wanna scream
I never feel like how I should
I only did the best I could
I'm always great but never good
Forever and ever and ever
I get by just fine like I am
I've got myself to thank
And don't I know I built the dam
I laid down every plank
I'm heavenbound for excellence
And that's just what I'll be
And it's such a hollow victory
But it was meant for me
