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 even found you even slightly funny
I just laughed so you would laugh at me instead
I remember when you used to cover up your words
Bubblegum pink
Sugar sweet, they will go down until I realised they just stuffed me
In the ground
And then something clicked and I figured it out
How I bullshit all your spite until he meets 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 of 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 bundled 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 of 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
[x3]
Oh la de da de da
Da la de da de da
Oh, 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 and smiling 'cause I can
Thinking of 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
