[Verse 1] See, my high school days made me feel so insane All the pick-me’s and fake-ass frenemies taking little digs, learned blood stains Worked hard to graduate, so I fought my way through the pain Guess it was wishful thinking I could ever make it big, so I dance in the rain Had my first kiss in a hallway by the exit sign Same guy stood me up at our school dance and left me cryin’ Still better than the boy who couldn’t stop crossing the line But heartbreak still always felt like dying [Chorus] It sucks to learn the hard way that I was too nice I learned pretty damn young being vulnerable has a price Would put everybody else’s needs before mine and locked doors taught me windows work just fine So I live my life because I’ve got nothing to prove With my smart-ass mouth, I say whatever the fuck I choose Your asshole behavior made me harder to bruise And now you know where I got this fucking attitude [Verse 2] Growing up didn’t save me, it just changed the shape of the cage Minimum wage and grown-ass bullies twice my fucking age Kept performing for strangers to think I’m fine, like I was always on a stage Then bled everything I couldn’t say in lyrics on a page Loneliness gets fucking heavy in someone else’s bed at night Mistook hands around my body for somebody holding tight Watched them take more than I offered like I’d given them the right They carried on with their lives while I was left to fight [Chorus] It sucks to learn the hard way that I was too nice I learned pretty damn young being vulnerable has a price Would put everybody else’s needs before mine and locked doors taught me windows work just fine So I live my life because I’ve got nothing to prove With my smart-ass mouth, I say whatever the fuck I choose Your asshole behavior made me harder to bruise And now you know where I got this fucking attitude [Bridge] So turn it up, I made a soundtrack out of past decisions Underpaid and overstimulated, but I never learned submission Kissed the wrong boys and a few girls, yet survived all the collisions You thought you got the story right, but here—let me make a few revisions Every word they made me swallow comes back screaming through the mic Turned the blood they left behind into the ink with which I write You all seem so obsessed with a girl you say you never liked It was a little shaky whether I’d make it, but I think I turned out alright good girl gone bad baddie but I'm still sad [Pre Chorus] It sucks to learn the hard way that I was too nice I learned pretty damn young being vulnerable has a price Would put everybody else’s needs before mine and locked doors taught me windows work just fine [Final Chorus] It sucks to learn the hard way that I was too nice I learned pretty damn young being vulnerable has a price Would put everybody else’s needs before mine and locked doors taught me windows work just fine So I live my life because I’ve got nothing to prove With my smart-ass mouth, I say whatever the fuck I choose Your asshole behavior made me harder to bruise And now you know where I got this fucking attitude Yeah, now you know where I got this attitude I got a fucking attitude
