I Wasn’t Gonna Be Prom Queen Anyway

I never fit in with the crowd.
I always knew I wasn’t gonna wear the crown.

The high school walls were just my cage;
I’m better off alone with all my rage.
They’ll never see me walk across the stage,
or see my arms around someone my age.

I dropped out with a grin so wide;
guess I won’t be the prom queen tonight.

(As if I’d be one anyway)

You won’t see me crying because I’m not torn.
I won’t pretend that this is something I should mourn.
I never cared; all I caused was disarray.
I wasn’t gonna be prom queen anyway.

I’ve told my mom that I’m leaving town.
Go ahead and keep the stupid crown.
I wasn’t born to follow rules;
I’m so sick of being one of those fools.

You can have your dances, have your king,
but I have bigger dreams to sing.
I’ll walk away, I won’t look back;
I don’t need your titles to feel intact.

(Because who will remember this anyway?)

You won’t see me crying because I’m not torn.
I won’t pretend that this is something I should mourn.
I never cared; all I caused was disarray.
I wasn’t gonna be prom queen anyway.

So, you can keep that petty throne;
I found a way to stand out on my own.
Fuck the crown and the prom queen;
oh, I’m sorry, was that mean?

(Well, I don’t give a fuck. Because…)

You won’t see me crying because I’m not torn.
I won’t pretend that this is something I should mourn.
I never cared; all I caused was disarray.
I wasn’t gonna be prom queen anyway.
