You talk down to me pretty bad, I edit things you said when I tell my friends about it

But when they're in my head, sometimes I recognise there might be a little truth to it.

I can't live this way, always on the back foot

Say he's been back in la, that makes me anxious

Behind the canyon of my ego, I know it's just my sadness.

Crashing, making memories of madness

Laughing so hard I can't stand it

Classic, all I'm good at is ruining you

Ooh...

Vanish, disappear like a hat trick

Laughing, like some old washed-up has-been

Actress, my best work is ruining you.

Ooh...

I could've been a star

Ooh...

I could've been a star

Ooh...

Might be a little darker than I pretend, and maliciously intended to hurt you

I wish that nothing was buried under the surface, and maybe I could properly love you.

Can't say I'm proud, but I'm still fond of our youth

You came into my story and let me rule you

I swear I didn't mean to break all hell loose.

Crashing, making memories of madness

Laughing so hard I can't stand it

Classic, all I'm good at is ruining you

Ooh...

Vanish, disappear like a hat trick

Laughing, like some old washed-up has-been

Actress, my best work is ruining you.

I could've been a star

Pretending to know what I'm after

I could've been a star

Whirling like a natural disaster

I could've been a star

I could've been a star

I could've been a star.
