lyrics

Intro
I’m a manic pixie dream girl
You think you like me
But you just fell in love
With the idea of excitement
Babe, you only ever see
Who you wanted me to be

Verse
I’ve always felt different
Never welcomed in, always distant
Subbing on the bench
Waiting for my turn, but I’m never next (Hmm, Uhhhh)

Always from the outside-in
They never smile at me ‘less I’m falling
Always sticking-out
Got sick and tired of trying to fit in

Pre-Chorus
Mmm, I’ve had enough!
I’m going to do as I please
And I will be the girl of my own dreams
I’ll be over the top, so dramatic
And won’t give a fuck about their critique
I’m not gonna let any lil’ idiots get in the way of my life
If I’m gonna live, then I’m gonna live it right

Chorus
I’m a manic pixie dream girl
You think you like me
But you just fell in love
With the idea of excitement
Babe, you only ever see
Who you wanted me to be

Verse
People always have ideas about (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
The person who they think I really am (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Preconceptions blossoming from ideals (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Without thinking about how I really feel (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Check off the notes you take on my MBTI (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Energetic and friendly but anxious inside (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Do I live up to your dreams? (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)
Do I make you want to live your life more free? (Hmmmm, Hmmmm)

Pre-Chorus
Mmmm I’ve had enough! (Heyyyyyy)
I just can’t meet your expectations (Heyyyyyy)
Can’t live up to your aspirations (Heyyyyyy)
My brain is built on unstable foundations (Heyyyyyy)
And I’m bored of having this conversation

Chorus
I’m a manic pixie dream girl
You think you like me
But you just fell in love
With The idea of excitement
Babe, you only ever see
Who you wanted me to be

I’m a manic pixie dream girl
You think you like me (manic pixie dream girl)
But you just fell in love
With the idea of excitement (you just want me in your world)
Babe, you only ever see
Who you wanted me to be, ugh

Outro
I’m a manic pixie
I’m a manic, I’m a manic
I’m a manic pixie
I’m a manic, I’m a manic
I’m a manic pixie
I’m a manic pixie
I live in your dreams
I live in your dreams
