Olivia Rodrigo – teenage dream Lyrics

when am i gonna stop
being wise beyond my years and just start being wise
when am i gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys

when am i gonna stop being great for my age and just start being good
when will it stop being cool to be quietly misunderstood

i’ll blow out the candles happy birthday to me
got your whole life ahead of you you’re only 19
but i fear that they already got all the best parts of me
and i’m sorry that i couldn’t always be your teenage dream

when does wide-eyed affection and all good intentions
start to not be enough
when will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs

when are all my excuses of learning my lessons gonna start to feel sad
will i spend all the rest of my years wishing i could go back

i’ll blow out the candles happy birthday to me
got your whole life ahead of you you’re only 19
but i fear that they already got all the best parts of me
and i’m sorry that i couldn’t always be your teenage dream
they all say that it gets better
it gets better the more you grow they all say that it gets better

it gets better but what if i don’t they all say that it gets better
it gets better the more you grow they all say that it gets better
it gets better but what if i don’t they all say that it gets better
it gets better the more you grow they all say that it gets better
it gets better but what if i don’t they all say that it gets better
it gets better the more you grow they all say that it gets better
it gets better but what if i don’t
