Could've Been A Star

You talk down to me pretty bad I edit things you say when I tell my friends about it But when they're in my head, sometimes I recognize There might be a little truth to it I can't live this way, always on the back foot Say he's been back in LA that makes me anxious Behind the canyon of my ego, I know it's just my sadness Crashin', makin' memories of madness Laughin' so hard I can't stand it Classic, all I'm good at is ruining you Vanish, disappear like a hat trick Laughing, like some old washed up has-been Actress, my best work is ruining you I could've been a star (ooh) I could've been a star (ooh) Might be a little darker than I pretended and maliciously intended to hurt you I wish that nothing was buried under the surface and maybe I could properly love you Can't say I'm proud but I'm still fond of our youth You came into my story and let me rule you I swear I didn't mean to break all hell loose Crashin', makin' memories of madness Laughin' so hard I can't stand it Classic, all I'm good at is ruining you Vanish, disappear like a hat trick Laughing, like some old washed up has-been Actress, my best work is ruining you I could've been a star It's certain death, to know what I'm after (ooh) I could've been a star Whirling like a natural disaster (ooh) I could've been a star I lost all control and I can't stand you (ooh) I could've been a star Who I am, yeah, baby, I I could've been a star
