ethel cain - american teenager (mixed) lyrics

[verse 1]
grew up under yellow light on the street
putting too much faith in the make+believe
and another high school football team (ah, ah+ah)
the neighbor’s brother came home in a box
but he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
another red heart taken by the american dream

[pre+chorus]
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out
and i’m all alone again

[chorus]
say what you want, but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
a long cold war with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re done, done
i do what i want, crying in the bleachers and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone
it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here

[verse 2]
sunday morning
hands over my knees in a room full of faces
i’m sorry if i seemed off, but i was probably wasted (probably wasted)
and didn’t feel so good (didn’t feel so good)
a life full of whiskey, but i always deliver
jesus, if you’re listening, let me handle my liquor
and jesus, if you’re there, why do i feel alone in this room with you?
[pre+chorus]
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out
but i’m still standing here

[outro]
say what you want, but say it like you mean it with your fists for once
a long cold war with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re done
i do it for my daddy and i do it for dale
i’m doing what i want and d+mn, i’m doing it well
for me, for me
for me, for me
[non+lyrical vocals]
