Teenager by George Alice Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 9
I'll act like everything is fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes this is not for me
Being told where to go, who to be
At fifteen I should try and be me
But you don't really care

[Chorus]
Put my best behavior on like a costume that you love
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, takе the time to fix it
Pile on all thе bullshit then tell me I'm important
I'm doing you a favor
I'm only a teenager
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes this is not for me
Being told where to go, who to be
At fifteen I should try and be me
But you don't really care

[Chorus]
Put my best behavior on like a costume that you love
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 I'm important
I'm doing you a favor
I'm only a teenager
