There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to be the one
To stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live her dreams
That what went down
Was gonna come around

For all the doubters, nonbelievers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

Armed with an attitude
That she knows how to use
She's gonna get there
Anyway she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters, nonbelievers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll know that you were wrong
Who would know?

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

Life is a work of art
You gotta paint it colorful
You can make it anything you want
Don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself

Doubters, nonbelievers
Once were her dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me
