When my head's in the deep end I'm not really there when I have trouble sleeping I do it all again, the second it hits nine I'll act like everything is fine Sometimes this is not for me Being told where to go, to be At fifteen I should try and be me But you don't really care Put my best behavior on Like the costume that you love You tell me who to be But I'll never learn a thing I'll write it down, baby I'm just a *** teenager You say my mind is precious Take the time to fix it Pile on all the bullshit And tell me I'm important I'm doing you a favor I'm only a teenager I need some guidance But all you're giving me Are 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 fifteen I should try and be me But you don't really care Put my best behavior on Like the costume that you love You tell me who to be But I'll never learn a thing I'll write it down, baby I'm just a *** teenager You say my mind is precious Take the time to fix it Pile on all the bullshit And tell me I'm important I'm doing you a favor I'm only a teenager I'm doing you a favor I'm only a teenager
