I am a manic pixie dream girl
and that's all I'll ever be
don't tell me that you want
me don't tell me that I'm pretty
'cause I won't believe
no I won't believe
when I get too happy my brain shuts down so scared and bitter
when I sink to the bottom and don't rise up it's just familiar
you're in my head
under my skin
you changed your mind
you changed your mind
I'm just a manic pixie dream girl
and that's all I'll ever know
don't say that you are here now
don't say that you won't go
'cause I won't believe
no I won't believe
when the cracks in the pavement look like scars, I've got a problem
and when everybody leaves it fucks me up, I start to feel numb
you're in my head
under my skin
you changed your mind
you changed your mid
like you've done a thousand times
you're in my head
under my skin
and i can't win
