Manic Pixie Dream Girl Lyrics

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'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

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

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

People always have ideas about

The person who they think I really am

Preconceptions blossoming from ideals

Without thinking about how I really feel

Check off the notes you take on my MBTI

Energetic and friendly but anxious inside

Do I live up to your dreams

Do I make you want to live your life more free

Mmmm I've had enough

I just can't meet your expectations

Can't live up to your aspirations

My brain is built on unstable foundations

And I'm bored of having this conversation

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

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
