Not a Pop Song

They look for picture-perfect Don't look deeper than the surface Bubblegum always pops And stars they fade out life never stops I don't do what Simon says Get the message 'cause it's read That's just life it never plays fair Said to follow any dream Be a puppet on a string Works for you but that isn't me This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs No more singin' songs 'bout breakin' my heart And my lonely nights dancin' in the dark If I'm a guilty pleasure I want this life forever I'll take it all 'cause anything is better Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love But if you wanna sing along say I don't give a what A hamster on a wheel That's how it feels tryna be real These unrealistic expectations Said we'll make it if we fake it I don't do what Simon says Get the message 'cause it's read That's just life it never plays fair Said to follow any dream Be a puppet on a string Works for you but that isn't me This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs No more singin' songs 'bout breakin' my heart And my lonely nights dancin' in the dark If I'm a guilty pleasure I want this life forever I'll take it all 'cause anything is better Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love But if you wanna sing along say I don't give a what No broken bottles Or glitter on the floor from the night before Ain't no boy troubles If that's what you came here for then you should know that This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs No more singin' songs 'bout breakin' my heart And my lonely nights dancin' in the dark If I'm a guilty pleasure I want this life forever I'll take it all 'cause anything is better Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love But if you wanna sing along say I don't give a what I don't give a what But if you wanna sing along say I don't give a what
