Caffeine lyrics

You used to tell me I'm no good at looking out for you

Looking out for you

You said that I don't see clearly and that I will twist my point of view

My point of view

And I would excuse you again and again

Say "it's just some inside joke that they don't get"

But to tell the truth, I never even found you even slightly funny

I just laughed so you would laugh at me instead

I remember when you used to cover up your words

Bubblegum pink

Sugar sweet, they will go down until I realised they just stuffed me

In the ground

And then something clicked and I figured it out

How I bullshit all your spite until he meets me

I know it took me way too long to see I only let you down

You should know that I'm not feeling all that lonely

'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings and smiling 'cause I can

Thinking of me and myself and how you won't define who I am

Running on dirt bikes and starlight

Oh, I know I look good, I don't need your approval

'Cause I'm no longer running on you

You used to hate it when I got way too excited

Way too excited

I was ashamed of laughing at things too much

So I bundled all my happiness and hide it, trying to please you

You told me I acted like a stupid little girl

That I embarrass you and I should get a grip

But it's you who is pathetic and in case you didn't know

I wrote this song to show you how I'm just so over it

'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings and smiling 'cause I can

Thinking of me and myself and how you won't define who I am

Running on dirt bikes and starlight

Oh, I know I look good, I don't need your approval

'Cause I'm no longer running on you

[x3]

Oh la de da de da

Da la de da de da

Oh, there's a word for what you do and there's a name I won't repeat

I won't stick pins into your toes or write sad songs when I can't sleep

You took enough of my time and I won't let you take no more

So I'm building back my bridges and I'm locking all my doors

'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings and smiling 'cause I can

Thinking of me and myself and how you won't define who I am

Running on dirt bikes and starlight

Oh, I know I look good, I don't need your approval

'Cause I'm no longer running on you
