You used to tell me i’m no good at looking out for you
Looking out for you
You said that i don’t see clearly and that i will twist my point of view
My point of view
And i would excuse you again and again
Say, “it’s just some inside joke that they don’t get”
But to tell the truth i never found them even slightly funny
I just laughed so you wouldn’t laugh at me instead
I remember when you used to cover up your words
Bubblegum pink
Sugar sweet, they will go down
Until i realize they just stuffed me in the ground
And then something clicked and i figured it out
How i b#llsh#t all your spite into “he needs me”
I know it took me way too long to see i only let you down
You should know that i’m not feeling all that lonely
’cause i’m running on caffeine, guitar strings, and smiling ’cause i can
Thinking ’bout me and myself and how you won’t define who i am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, i know i look good
I don’t need your approval
’cause i’m no longer running on you
You used to hate it when i got way too excited
Way too excited
I was ashamed of laughing at things too much, so i bundle all my happiness and hide it
Trying to please you
You told me i acted like a stupid little girl
That i embarrass you and i should get a grip
But it’s you who is pathetic
And in case you didn’t know, i wrote this song to show you how i’m just so over it
’cause i’m running on caffeine, guitar strings, and smiling ’cause i can
Thinking ’bout me and myself and how you won’t define who i am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, i know i look good
I don’t need your approval
’cause i’m no longer running on you
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
And there’s a word for what you do
And there’s a name i won’t repeat
I won’t stick pins into your toes or write sad songs when i can’t sleep
You took enough of my time and i won’t let you take no more
So i’m building back my bridges and i’m locking all my doors
’cause i’m running on caffeine, guitar strings, smiling ’cause i can
Thinking ’bout me, oh, and myself and how you won’t define who i am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, i know i look good
I don’t need your approval
’cause i’m no longer running on you
