[Verse 1]
You used to tell me I'm no good at looking out for you
Looking out for you
You said that I don't see clearly and that I will twist my point of view
My point of view

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I would excuse you again and again
Say, "It's just some inside joke that they don't get"
But to tell the truth I never found them even slightly funny
I just laughed so you wouldn't laugh at me instead

[Verse 2]
I remember when you used to cover up your words
Bubblegum pink
Sugar sweet, they will go down
Until I realize they just stuffed me in the ground

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And then something clicked and I figured it out
How I bullshit all your spite into "He needs me"
I know it took me way too long to see I only let you down
You should know that I'm not feeling all that lonely

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings, and smiling 'cause I can
Thinking 'bout me and myself and how you won't define who I am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, I know I look good
I don't need your approval
'Cause I'm no longer running on you
[Verse 3]
You used to hate it when I got way too excited
Way too excited
I was ashamed of laughing at things too much, so I bundle all my happiness and hide it
Trying to please you

[Pre-Chorus]
You told me I acted like a stupid little girl
That I embarrass you and I should get a grip
But it's you who is pathetic
And in case you didn't know, I wrote this song to show you how I'm just so over it

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings, and smiling 'cause I can
Thinking 'bout me and myself and how you won't define who I am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, I know I look good
I don't need your approval
'Cause I'm no longer running on you

[Post-Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

[Bridge]
And there's a word for what you do
And there's a name I won't repeat
I won't stick pins into your toes or write sad songs when I can't sleep
You took enough of my time and I won't let you take no more
So I'm building back my bridges and I'm locking all my doors
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm running on caffeine, guitar strings, smiling 'cause I can
Thinking 'bout me, oh, and myself and how you won't define who I am
Running on dirt bikes and starlight
Oh, I know I look good
I don't need your approval
'Cause I'm no longer running on you
