You talk down to me pretty bad
I edit things you said when I tell my friends about it
But when they’re in my head, sometimes I recognize
There might be a little truth to it
Can’t live this way, always on the back foot
Say it’s being back in LA that makes me anxious
Behind the canyon of my ego, I know it's just my sadness

Crashin', makin' memories of madness
Laughin' so hard I can't stand it
Classic, all I’m good at is ruining you (ooh)
Vanish, disappear like a hat trick
Laughing, like some old washed up has-been
Actress, my best work is ruining you
I could've been a star (ooh)
I could've been a star (ooh)

Might be a little darker than I pretended, maliciously intended to hurt you
I wish that nothing was buried under the surface and maybe I could properly love you
Can’t say I’m proud but I’m still fond of our youth
You came in as a master and let me rule you
I swear I didn't mean to break all hell loose

Crashin', makin' memories of madness
Laughin' so hard I can't stand it
Classic, all I’m good at is ruining you
Vanish, disappear like a hat trick
Laughing, like some old washed up has-been
Actress, my best work is ruining you
I could've been a star (ooh)

It's certain death, to know what I'm after
I could've been a star (ooh)
Whirling like a natural disaster (ooh)
I could've been a star (ooh)
I lost all control and I can't stand you
I could've been a star (ooh)
Who I am, yeah, baby, I
I could've been a star (ooh)
