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 being 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.
