Is this what they mean?
When referring to the "teenage dream",
you know partying like there's no tomorrow,
staying out late, sneaking out, going on long road trips....
But you see I don't remember the part
about crying myself to sleep at night,
falling down the abyss of what one might call "love"
losing friends like leaves in the middle of fall.
I don't remember anyone saying I would learn to "take the pain away" and decorate my skin with that oh so sharp pen
Becoming an expert at wearing long sleeves
What about the part with him
Him.
I can't bear--
I can't bear to think of him for too long.
Him who touched me even after I said stop.
Him who would not listen to me
to my kicks, to my screams, to my claws.
They, who would not see the terror on my face whenever he would rush through the door after the bell rang
You see I don't remember these parts when they refer to the "teenage dream," but maybe
maybe that's just me...
