Songs for Teenagers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking for drugs in all the wrong places
Wanted to be famous, but ended up nameless
Love is not the answer, I'm in love with this stuff
I spent every last dime in a stranger's trunk

[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright
It's okay
I'm alright
I'll be okay

[Verse 2]
First time, I felt like I was gonna die
But I've gotten pretty good at telling myself it's fine
Anna talks me down and gives me sips of her beer
Head-pounding reveille, how did I get here?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright
I'll be okay

[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go all the way down
'Til there's nowhere left to fall
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up
Just to let each other down
[Verse 3]
Looking for drugs in all the wrong places
Felt a change coming, but I couldn't face it
Tried to keep my cool when I finally made it home
I had a bloodshot excuse for every lie I told

[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright
It's okay
I'm alright
I'll be okay

[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go all the way down
'Til there's nowhere left to fall
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up
Just to let each other down

[Bridge]
Last night is all a blur to me
I don't remember anything
But I vaguely recall being alone

[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright
It's okay
I'm alright
I'll be okay
[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go all the way down
'Til there's nowhere left to fall
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up
Just to let each other down
Oh, let it go, let it go all the way down
'Til there's nowhere left to fall
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up
Just to let each other down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
