So cautious, I was
Just a kid and for what it was worth
Well, it wasn't
All of the suffering
I thought, maybe one day
I'll use this in a good way
Isn't it great what I made of it?
Just a boring anorexic
Brain addled, sympathetic
To all who thought me so special and pathetic
I'm just so fucked up
You couldn't understand me
Boy in the backseat, won't you mythologize me?
Make me in your perfect image of a girl
So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for
Your needs to give me meaning
Oh, what a relief from feeling
Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste
Of my potential that they said would come with pain
All I can do is fantasize
About how you fantasize about me
Ain't it great?
Show up late
On your arm
Set the slate
Talk my ear off and wait til the band starts to play
In the crowd I am anyone
I'm dancing all crazy
You shoot me a look and I know I'm misbehaving
If I ever said
"Hey, fuck you" and lost my head
You know, I would bet you'd find a way to find it sexy
Make me in your perfect image of a girl
Batshit crazy
All I need is you to turn my world right side up again
What would I ever do without men?
Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste
Of my potential that they said would come with pain
All I can do is fantasize
About how you fantasize about me
Make me in your perfect image of a girl
So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for
Your needs to give me meaning
Oh, what a relief from feeling
Call me only when you wanna pick a fight
Bout how you could never love me when it's right
When I get myself together I know
You won't want me when I'm better
