[Verse 1]
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
And early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to the bridge

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
So before I'm old I'll confess

[Chorus]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song

[Verse 2]
My bed's full of takeaways
And fantasies of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real cause I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey, Ricki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And it's starting to show
So before I'm old I'll confess

[Chorus]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song

[Bridge]
If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young, we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know and you know
Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

[Chorus]
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song
You think that I'm strong
You're wrong, you're wrong
I'll sing my song, my song, my song

[Outro]
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
