Teenage Nightmare Lyrics

[Chorus]
I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
So everything I do drives you crazy
And I know when I’m fucked up you hate it
‘Cause you can’t control the things I’m saying
You think you can fix me, I’m too faded
You try and you try but nothing changes
You told me you’re running out of patience
But I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby

[Verse 1]
Woke up and I’m messed up
Blacked out last night, no regrets 'cause
We're mixing cups, can’t remember where we left off
All I know is tonight we’re never leaving ‘cause we’re
Fucked up, always wanting more from each other
But we’re never gonna change for another
Hate that every single fight leads to bloodlust
But it’s never gonna change that you’re the love of
My life, and I fight so we can make it by
Haunted, and I’m praying we survive the night
This time, nothing’s ever gonna change my mind
Won’t make the same mistake, ‘cause time’ll pass us by

[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly
I can’t make apologies
For this life I’m tryna lead
‘Cause every time you try to leave
You just run right back to me
You can’t trust the things I say
You know I’m not gonna change
But you’ll never walk away
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
So everything I do drives you crazy
And I know when I’m fucked up you hate it
‘Cause you can’t control the things I’m saying
You think you can fix me, I’m too faded
You try and you try but nothing changes
You told me you’re running out of patience
But I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby

[Verse 2]
Day two, still blank from the night before
Got up, and you’re passed out on the floor
Say you don’t care, but you’re still keeping score
Of all the smallest things, and that’s what I adore
Yeah, what more could I ask ‘ya for
Called like three, four times, but you hit ignore
I tried to make it right, but I just can’t conform
I tried to open up, but then you slammed the door
Goin’ up, to the top, it’s the only way to move
Even with all the fights, you’re the only thing I choose
I messed up, you messed up, tell me what the fuck is new
It’s the same thing every day I’m always chasing after you
Fuckin’ up, yeah, huh, called you up, yeah, huh
Then you leave me face-down in the pavement
It’s on sight but every time I sight ‘ya
Feelings running through my head
There’s no way I could fight ‘ya
It’s our time, we can finally make it
Take my hand, there ain’t no more debatin’
All these words and I still can’t explain it
But it’s been too long and I’m done with the waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly
I can’t make apologies
For this life I’m tryna lead
‘Cause every time you try to leave
You just run right back to me
You can’t trust the things I say
You know I’m not gonna change
But you’ll never walk away

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
So everything I do drives you crazy
And I know when I’m fucked up you hate it
‘Cause you can’t control the things I’m saying
You think you can fix me, I’m too faded
You try and you try but nothing changes
You told me you’re running out of patience
But I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby

[Bridge]
Toxic, fake and
Just infuriating
But when I’m with you
I just can’t explain it
Something, changes
Memories are fading
This is my moment
My chance I’m gonna take it
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
So everything I do drives you crazy
And I know when I’m fucked up you hate it
‘Cause you can’t control the things I’m saying
You think you can fix me, I’m too faded
You try and you try but nothing changes
You told me you’re running out of patience
But I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby (I’m just a teenage dirtbag)

[Outro]
I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
