Alyssa Greene

You know what my mother is like She's a complete and total control freak The hair has to be perfect The As have to be straight You have to join the debate club On that there's no debate You'll have Bible camp each summer To keep you pure and clean Endless rules apply when you're Alyssa Greene Trophies have to be first place Ribbons have to be blue There's always some competition Or hoops for jumping through Your mom's made sacrifices So win homecoming queen Cause it's do or die when you're Alyssa Greene And you wish there was a world Where you were simply free to live And when people criticised you You had no more shits to give And in this other lifetime When you tell yourself be brave you won't cave That's the one thing I truly crave But your feelings have to be phony Your weight has to be tracked If you don't like shaking pom poms You'd better learn to act Just have everything perfected by the time you reach eighteen Don't ask how or why when you're Alyssa Greene Improve all of your strong points And hide things that you lack Cause mom's convinced if you're perfect Your father will might come back You're not yourself You're not what she wants You're someone in-between Your whole life's a lie when you're Alyssa Greene I believe you have feelings for me But I can't do this anymore It hurts to much Is this-? Are you breaking up with me? I guess I am, yeah Bye You're not yourself You're not what she wants You're someone in-between
