I'm not really there when I have trouble sleeping
I do it all again
The second day it's not
I act like everything is fine
Sometimes this is not for me
Being told where to go to be
At 15 I should try and be me
But you don't really care
Put my best behavior on
Like the costume that you wear
You tell me who to be
But I'll never learn a thing
I'll write it down on paper
I'm just a fucking teenager
You say my mind is precious
Take the time to fix it
Pile on all the bullshit
Then tell me how important
I'm doing you a favor
Baby, I want me a teenager
I need some credit
But all you're giving
I need some credit
I don't care about my terrible solutions
Even more confusion
Like I'm barely human
Treat me like I'm human
Sometimes this is not for me
Being told where to go to be
At 15 I should try and be me
But you don't really care
Put my best behavior on
Like the costume that you wear
You tell me who to be
But I'll never learn a thing
I'll write it down on paper
I'm just a fucking teenager
You say my mind is precious
Take the time to fix it
Pile on all the bullshit
Then tell me how important
I'm doing you a favor
I want me a teenager
Pile on all the bullshit

I'm doing you a favor
Baby, I want me a teenager
I need some credit
But all you're giving
I need some credit
You tell me who to be
At 15 I should try and be me
Baby, I want me a teenager
I need some credit
I don't have no name
I don't have any name
I don't have any name
I don't have any name
Put my best behavior on, like the costume that you wear
You tell me who you need, but I'll never learn a thing
I'll write it down, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'm just a fucking teenager, I'll be injured
Say my mind is precious, take the time to fix it
Pile on all the bullshit, don't tell me I've been born
I'm doing you a favor, I'll wait
I'll be a teenager
I'm doing you a favor
