They tell me

[Verse 1] Twenty one years ago Started this journey we call life Found my fair share of strife (back then) Everyone was picking on me back then Telling me I'd never be their friend My acne, my nose - whichever way it goes Nothing was ever good enough... [Chorus] They tell me I'm stupid, they tell me I'm dumb! But I just act clueless, keep singing my song! Cause no matter, the truth is: I just wanna have fun! They say: focus on the past... But we move on fast.... Cause I'm not the same person I was Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit that I was lost! [Verse 2] High school wasn't easy Payed more attention to my looks than class Barely had enough credits to pass Figured getting a girlfriend was worth more than my GPA Only wanted to be loved, for someone to stay I didn't know I had to find my own way... [Chorus] They tell me I'm stupid, they tell me I'm dumb! But I just act clueless, keep singing my song! Cause no matter, the truth is: I just wanna have fun! They say: focus on the past... But we move on fast.... Cause I'm not the same person I was Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit that I was lost! [Bridge] Graduation day, and I'm on top of the world Looking out at the smiling faces in the crowd I just want to make my moma proud My anxiety's shooting through the roof, Then I stumbled my words, forgot something I had to mention But the whole crowd erupted in cheers - no one was paying attention That's when I realized it was all in my head for so long Now, I gotta remind myself by singing this stupid song... [Chorus] They tell me I'm stupid, they tell me I'm dumb! But I just act clueless, keep singing my song! Cause no matter, the truth is: I just wanna have fun! They say: focus on the past... But we move on fast.... Cause I'm not the same person I was Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit that I was lost! I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT THAT I WAS LOST! [Chorus] They tell me I'm stupid, they tell me I'm dumb! But I just act clueless, keep singing my song! Cause no matter, the truth is: I just wanna have fun! They say: focus on the past... But we move on fast.... Cause I'm not the same person I was (back then) Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit that I was lost!
