ALL-
AMERICAN
BOYS.

VERSE 1

Football jersey, perfect smile
Thought you’d own the world awhile
Laughing loud across the hall
Like no one else existed at all

You kissed girls like it was a game
Forgot their hearts, remembered names
King of Friday, prince of lies
Never learned to apologize

PRE-CHORUS

You looked right through me
Until somebody else did
Now you’re asking where I’ve been…

CHORUS

To all the all-American boys
Who thought I wasn’t worth the noise
You never saw me burning bright
Just another girl dressed in black that night

Now you stream my songs at 2 A.M.
Wonder how you lost me then
You chased perfection
I became art
Guess the weird girl won this part

VERSE 2

You wanted blondes with perfect skin
I hid my bruises underneath mine
You loved girls that smiled on cue
I wrote songs instead of chasing you

You called me “crazy” with a grin
Like loving hard was some kind of sin
Funny how your wedding ring
Couldn’t save you from remembering me

PRE-CHORUS

The hallway echoes
Don’t hit the same
Nobody remembers
Who won the game

CHORUS

To all the all-American boys
Who thought I wasn’t worth the noise
You never saw me burning bright
Just another girl dressed in black that night

Now you stream my songs at 2 A.M.
Wonder how you lost me then
You chased perfection
I became art
Guess the weird girl won this part

BRIDGE

Here’s to every girl
Who never got picked first
Who learned that pretty hurts
When you’re trying to fit their world

Here’s to every scar
Every lunch alone
Every broken heart
That somehow found a home

FINAL CHORUS

To all the all-American boys
Hope you found your perfect life
Hope she laughs at all your jokes
And kisses you goodnight

But if my name still crosses your mind
When the house gets quiet inside
Just remember…

The girl you never noticed…
Became the voice
You couldn’t forget.
