I'm gonna be a pop star
So I can go make my mother proud of me
She never believed in the music industry
Every time I showed her one of my songs
She never really cared at all

Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type, I'll make it up to you

Quit your crying
Go teach your son a lesson, quit your crying
I spent my whole life proving myself to those who I'd never see again
Guess that's something I got used to
But I'm moving on
Hindsight twenty-twenty when there's something wrong

I just want to be special to you

Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type, I'll make it up to you
Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type, I'll make it up to you

Now when they all see me want a photo
How could you even say that? You've been so cold
I don't wanna be here, wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I don't make as much as all my friends
When you say that, wish that I was dead
I just wanna make my mom proud
But all she cares about is why I'm not the best now

I just want to be special to you

Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type, I'll make it up to you
Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type
Goddamn, just wanna see you in the crowd sometime
Because you've seen me break down one too many times tonight
And I know I haven't been the greatest son
But I wanna prove that I'm the type

I'm gonna be a pop star
So I can go make my mother proud of me
