It ain't about the car Ain't about the green Sure ain't about no ring It ain't about the white picket fence or that just depends On where your truth begins On where your story ends Or maybe I'm just rambling off-topic Been sold so many dreams But I'm left standing empty-handed My quest for independence sure has taken the advantage Won't somebody tell me where's the pill To ease the ache of all my losses I don't want to spend the rest of my life ticking boxes Ain't about the past Ain't about worrying 'bout tomorrow Ain't about fear 'Cause heaven knows that time is always borrowed In the end So I'd rather not pretend To have the upper hand 'Cause that facade is hallow I feel I've lost my mind Done searching for forever after If I could relieve the pressure Hidden under perfect laughter I've been clinging to this list so long I finally realized what the cost is I don't want to spend my whole damn life Just ticking boxes Ain't about the ♪ So it ain't about the ring It's not about worrying about tomorrow Had to let it go 'Cause if I held on I'm not sure that I could make it I messed up I had to face it Waited on loved and now it's faded Let's just say it's complicated
