I can't explain
Why I hate my name so much
My mother thought it sounded
Like a president's
And I'm not really sure what else
Would make sense
But I just wanted something
That sounded like a star
Fire in my brain
When I see people that I used to know
As if they're saying,
"Why aren't you famous yet?
You must be doing something wrong
You're such a fool
You shouldv'e stayed in school
But you think you're a star
But you think you're a star"
I know that I'm a fucking star
I say that to myself at night
In the mirror after "hello, gorgeous"
and before, "People do it all the time."
People do it all the time.
People do it all the time.
And then I fall
Into the water
Every light is going out
Every ripple is a doubt
But I'll be fine
I do this all the time
I promise I'll be fine
I do this all the time
And I know that I'm a fucking star
I say that to myself at night
In the mirror after "hello, gorgeous"
and before, "People do it all the time."
People do it all the time.
I promise I'll be fine
I'm holding onto my own
I feel it in my bones
There'll be no rain today
Don't fuck with my parade
