You were going out to bars
Driving nice cars, I was on mars
Thinking you were mine
Every single weekend
I would pretend I was like you
Dressing up to the nines
And we'd go out to the restaurant
Where people knew your name
Your picture on the wall
Like you were in the hall of fame
Loved attention
But never mentioned me

Sometimes I wonder why you
Still keep me up at night, then
I think of how I cried
And it gets to me

So yeah, I'm in my twenties
Saying: Fuck you and your city
On a green line t
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was eighteen
You were acting like you loved me
In a matte black jeep
But only for a moment, then rejected me
So I do these crazy things
To give peace to eighteen-year-old me

Yeah she deserved better
She deserved better, woah
She deserved better, ooh

You were in and out of town
Then you want me back around
And every single time I'd stay
Spending every weekend
Off the deep end
Never knowing if you're gonna walk away
And you'd show up at the party
You knew I was going to
There was no going out
'Less I was going out with you
You'd tell me that you love me
And there was nobody else
Just so you could have me to yourself

So yeah, I'm in my twenties
Saying: Fuck you and your city
On a green line t
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was eighteen
You were acting like you loved me
In a matte black jeep
But only for a moment, then rejected me
So I do these crazy things
To give peace to eighteen-year-old me

You didn't care when you hurt me
Miss the twist in your words, please
I deserved, I deserved better woah
Than being lost in confusion
In a game I was losing
I deserved, I deserved better
So can you blame me?

So yeah, I'm in my twenties
Saying: Fuck you and your city
On a green line t
Middle finger up to every fancy street
Where the buildings scream your name
'Cause back when I was eighteen
You were acting like you loved me
In a matte black jeep
But only for a moment, then rejected me
So I do these crazy things
To give peace to eighteen-year-old me

Yeah she deserved better
She deserved better, woah
She deserved better, woah
Eighteen-year-old me
Yeah she deserved better
She deserved better, oh
She deserved better, ooh
Eighteen-year-old me
