Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
In my party dress, damn I'm such a mess
I can't handle this, I'm going home
Did my hair real nice, but can barely smile
You didn't show up tonight, so what's the point

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends are begging me to stay out
I'm done with being your playground
Got me putting on a gray-faced
But inside I really hate it
I can't believe you didn't show up
Kinda makes me wanna throw up
Feel like I'm about to blow up
For the very last time (time)

[Chorus]
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
No matter how much I keep dancing
My tears won't seem to dry
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
Gonna get you out of my system
This is my last goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
This is my last goodbye
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
My celebration cry

[Verse 2]
No more wasted youth, being stuck on you
Like a maniac, I'm done with that
Ima take what's mine, it's about that time
To leave the past behind, never looking back

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends are begging me to stay out
I'm done with being your playground
Got me putting on a gray-faced
But inside I really hate it
I can't believe you didn't show up
Kinda makes me wanna throw up
Feel like I'm about to blow up
For the very last time (time)

[Chorus]
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
No matter how much I keep dancing
My tears won't seem to dry
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
Gonna get you out of my system
This is my last goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
This is my last goodbye
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
My celebration cry

[Bridge]
(My friends are begging me
My friends are begging me)
Finally said goodbye
(My friends are begging me)
For the very last time (time)

[Chorus]
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
No matter how much I keep dancing
My tears won't seem to dry
I know it's a celebration but I just wanna cry
Gonna get you out of my system
This is my last goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
This is my last goodbye
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
My celebration cry
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
This is my last goodbye
I'm sick of you, I'm fed up
My celebration cry
