| They told me
|
| I’d never be anything
|
| So I did absolutely everything
|
| To get where I want
|
| Lately I’ve been
|
| Walking through these memories
|
| To remind myself how could it feel
|
| To prove them wrong
|
| (Yeah, yeah)
|
| (Yeah, yeah)
|
| This one’s for you!
|
| Who would have guessed
|
| The path we created
|
| Led us to this, led us to this
|
| I’m a high school drop-out
|
| They say I’m an eighth grade washout
|
| With my head in the clouds
|
| And my feet on the ground
|
| We’re not going nowhere
|
| But sticking around
|
| They told me
|
| I’d never be anything
|
| So I did absolutely everything
|
| To get where I want
|
| I’d rather be an outcast
|
| Than another face in the crowd
|
| It’s all making perfect sense to me now
|
| Everyone wants to be an individual
|
| But nobody wants to be an outcast
|
| Everyone wants to be an individual
|
| But nobody wants to be an outcast
|
| This one’s for you!
|

| With my head in the clouds
|
| And my feet on the ground
|
| We’re not going nowhere
|
| But sticking around
|
| Where is my hope?
|
| I’m a rose with a past
|
| Full of thorns but I’ll always stay
|
| True to my roots
|
| Thank you for showing me
|
| How I’m not supposed to be
|
| This one’s for you!
|
| We’re all roses with pasts full of thorns
|
| Stay you
|
| Stay true
|
| To your roots
|
| Stay you
|
| Stay true
|
| To your roots
|
| We call these bitter-sweet small victories
|
| Growing up I didn’t know what I want to be
|
| Although it was years ago
|
| I don’t give a fuck that I still don’t know!
