  • Thought when I grew up
    I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
    I would not give in, I would not partake
    In the same old drugs everyone else takes

    I'm better than that, I'm better than that
    I'm living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
    But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
    I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back

    I used to call my mom every Sunday
    So she knew her love wasn't far away
    But now I'm all fucked up out in LA
    'Cause I care more about what other people say

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
    From the constant hell I put him through
    'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
    I could use some tape, I could use some glue

    I'm better than that, I'm better than that
    I should be living my life so I go to heaven and never come back

    I used to call my mom every Sunday
    So she knew her love wasn't far away
    But now I'm all fucked up out in LA
    'Cause I care more about what other people say
    I used to not take chances with God's name
    But it's been so long since I last prayed
    And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
    'Cause I care more about what other people say

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Demitria Lovato, Geoffrey Elliott Warburton, Ryan Williamson, Sam Fischer
