This Ones For You Lyrics

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!
