Maggie Baring - Teenage Nightmare Lyrics

It was a teenage daydream
Like the reels from a movie scene
White shirt long hair fading tan
And a lost boy tryna be the bigger man

And then you rigged the game
Dancing over my grave
And a voice so loud am I going insane

And then you call me up right out of the blue
Been saying bullshit like baby I need you
And I know
That you don't
And I tell you to go
Ohhhh

Like throwing rocks at my window in the middle of the night
Its taking all my strength just to say I'm alright
And I lie
In the dark
With you not by my side
Oh, this is a teenage nightmare
Ohhh

Were headed for disaster
So we ran a little faster
Head down, raining, walk to my room
Did it all for love yeh I do it for you

But then you rigged the game
Dancing over my grave
And you were pulling away pulling away
Like a song on repeat
Shattered glass at my feet
It's so hard falling asleep falling asleep
Because you rigged the game
And then you ran from the blame
As if it's totally painless, smiling so shameless
But I am done with the drama
I've just gotta work harder
At learning to live with the pain of being apart

And then you call me up right out of the blue
Been saying bullshit like baby I need you
And I know
That you don't
And I tell you to go
Ohhhh

Like throwing rocks at my window in the middle of the night
Its taking all my strength just to say I'm alright
And I lie
In the dark
With you not by my side
Oh, this is a teenage nightmare

Ohhh

I was in London happy I was alone
Been doing better than ever, far away from my phone
Rethinking every story I've ever told
Erasing every time I had someone to hold
Still in a teenage daydream state in my mind
Hope I'll be losing this fantasy somewhere down the line
I swear to all my friends that I'm doing just fine
Who knew that fairytale endings could be so unkind?

And then you call me up right out of the blue
Been saying bullshit like baby I need you
And I know
That you don't
And I tell you to go
Ohhhh

Like throwing rocks at my window in the middle of the night
Its taking all my strength just to say I'm alright
And I lie
In the dark
With you not by my side, oh
This is a teenage nightmare

Ohhhh
