This Ones For You

This one's for you!
 They told me
 I'd never be anything
 So I did absolutely everything
 To get where I want
 Lately I've been
 Walking through these memories
 To remind myself how could it feel
 To prove them wrong
 (Yeah, yeah)
 (Yeah, yeah)
 This one's for you!
 Who would have guessed
 The path we created
 Led us to this, led us to this
 I'm a high school drop-out
 They say I'm an eighth grade washout
 With my head in the clouds
 And my feet on the ground
 We're not going nowhere
 But sticking around
 They told me
 I'd never be anything
 So I did absolutely everything
 To get where I want
 I'd rather be an outcast
 Than another face in the crowd
 It's all making perfect sense to me now
 Everyone wants to be an individual
 But nobody wants to be an outcast
 Everyone wants to be an individual
 But nobody wants to be an outcast
 This one's for you!
 Who would have guessed
 The path we created
 Led us to this, led us to this
 I'm a high school drop-out
 They say I'm an eighth grade washout
 With my head in the clouds
 And my feet on the ground
 We're not going nowhere
 But sticking around
 Where is my hope?
 I'm a rose with a past
 Full of thorns but I'll always stay
 True to my roots
 Thank you for showing me
 How I'm not supposed to be
 This one's for you!
 We're all roses with pasts full of thorns
 Stay you
 Stay true
 To your roots
 Stay you
 Stay true
 To your roots
 We call these bitter-sweet small victories
 Growing up I didn't know what I want to be
 Although it was years ago
 I don't give a fuck that I still don't know!
 Who would have guessed
 The path we created
 Led us to this, led us to this
 I'm a high school drop-out
 They say I'm an eighth grade washout
 With my head in the clouds
 And my feet on the ground
 We're not going nowhere
 But sticking around
 Where is my hope?
 I'm a rose with a past
 Full of thorns but I'll always stay
 True to my roots
 Thank you for showing me
 How I'm not supposed to be
 This one's for you!
