Lyrics

Could've Been A Star

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 recognize 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
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
I could've been a star
I 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
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 lost all control and I can't stand you
I could've been a star
Who I am, you left me behind
I could've been a star
