I Wasn’t Gonna Be Prom Queen Anyway

I never fit in with the crowd.

I always knew I wasn’t ever gonna wear that crown.

The high school walls were just my cage.

I’m better off alone with all my rage.

*

They’ll never see me walking across the stage,

or see my arms around someone of my age.

I dropped out with a grin so wide,

Guess I won’t be your 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 your stupid crown.

I wasn’t born to follow rules,

I’m so sick of being one of your 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 your petty little throne,

Because I found a way to stand out on my own.

Fuck your crown, Fuck your 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.
