[Verse 1]
I can't think of getting old
It only makes me want to die
And I can't think of who I was
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
I got the point, I got the message

[Chorus]
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

[Verse 2]
I was dreamin' life away
All the while just going blind
Can't see the forest for the trees
Behind the lids of my own eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help you now
A dream is good, if you don't wear it out

[Chorus]
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

[Bridge]
No, I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
(All the glory days are gone)
I can sabotage me by myself
(It's over now)
I don't need no one else
(I'm on my own)
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
(All the glory days are gone)
I can sabotage me by myself
(It's over now)
I don't need no one else
(I'm on my own)
I can sabotage me by myself

[Chorus]
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
I'm caught in the middle

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
