Mannequin Lyrics

Forget the skeletons in my closet

I'll pose with a mannequin for the public

Lay it out real nice

Specific but vague enough am I right

And I cried while I put away your things

But I'll find you in anything

Especially the metaphoric version of you

Right here in my living room

And I ask her what I want to ask you

And she answers with nothing like you did too

I ask her what I want to ask you

Yeah I ask her what I want to ask you

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

Don't pull out your defensive armor

I just scratched the surface of you

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

'Cause all I've got left of the truth

Is a mannequin version of you

Am I the skeleton in your closet

You'll pose with a man when you're out in public

Make it all seem nice

Specific and not as vague as you'd like

Do you cry when you hear the songs I sing

Or are you even listening

You know that I'll probably always write about you

Even though you don't want me to

And I ask myself what I want to ask you

And I answer with nothing like you did too

I ask myself what I want to ask you

I ask myself what I want to ask you

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

Don't pull out your defensive armor

I just scratched the surface of you

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

'Cause all I've got left of the truth

Is a mannequin version of you

You waved me down

Not sorry now

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get

I hope I'm not that person

That you wish you never met

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get

Left me with no conclusion

So this question marks the end of it

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

Don't pull out your defensive armor

I just scratched the surface of you

Was I real to you

Was I real to you

'Cause all I've got left of the truth

Is a mannequin version of you

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get

It's not what I asked for

But yeah it's what I get
