Lyrics
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
