ROCKSTAR
Mallrat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my darling, I'm on stand by
Doesn't make sense, don't understand why
Keep me guessin', make me crazy
Who's been messin' with my baby?

Fuck you for playin' games with my heart
And keepin' me in the dark
I loved you right from the start

Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day

I get you high, you roll me up in your Backwoods
I'm movin' forward while you're slippin' all backwards
It breaks my heart, oh, baby, baby, you're tragic
Don't think you're slick for cashin' in on my magic

Like a movie scene
Standin' in the rain
When you call my name
It'll be too late

Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys




And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day

LYRICS

You're my darling, I'm on standby
Doesn't make sense, don't understand why
Keep me guessing, make me crazy
Who's been messing with my baby?

[Pre Chorus]
Fuck you for playing games with my heart and keeping me in the dark
I loved you right from the start

[Chorus]
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day

[Verse 2]
I get you high, you roll me up in your backwoods
I'm moving forward while you're slipping on backwards
It breaks my heart, oh baby baby you're tragic
Don't think you're slick for cashing in on my magic

Love what you did with your voice in this. Such great production & mix as well. The guitars sound like they are filmed underwater..

Just realized the beginning reminds me of "Slide Away" by Miley and the vocals are reminiscent of old Avril Lavigne. Absolutely love this!
