18
You were going out to bars, driving nice cars
I was on Mars thinking you were mine
Every single weekend I would pretend
I was like you dressing up to the nines
And we'd go out to the restaurant where people knew your name
Your picture on the wall like you were in the hall of fame
Loved attention but never mentioned me
Sometimes I wonder why you still keep me up at night
Then I think of how I cried and it gets to me
So yeah I'm in my 20's
Saying, "Fuck you and your city" on a Green Line T
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was 18
You were acting like you loved me in a matte black Jeep
But only for a moment then rejected me
So I do these crazy things to give peace to 18-year-old me
Yeah, she deserved better
She deserved better, oh
She deserved better, ooh
You were in and out of town then you'd want me back around
And every single time I'd stay
Spending every weekend off the deep-end
Never knowing if you're gonna walk away
And you'd show up at the party you knew I was going to
There was no going out 'less I was going out with you
You'd tell me that you loved me and there was nobody else
Just so you could have me to yourself
So yeah I'm in my 20's
Saying, "Fuck you and your city" on a Green Line T
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was 18
You were acting like you loved me in a matte black Jeep
But only for a moment then rejected me
So I do these crazy things to give peace to 18-year-old me
You didn't care how you hurt me
Mr. Twisting Your Words, please
I deserved, I deserved better, oh
Than being lost in confusion
In a game I was losing
I deserved, I deserved better
So can you blame me?
For being in my 20's
Saying, "Fuck you and your city" on a Green Line T
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was 18
You were acting like you loved me in a matte black Jeep
But only for a moment then rejected me
So I do these crazy things to give peace to 18-year-old me
Yeah, she deserved better
She deserved better, oh
She deserved better, oh
18-year-old me
