He got up this morning
Didn't know right from wrong
He got his shield and walls stacked high
But he couldn't keep them strong.
I told him that he could count on me
But he kept asking me, "..for how long?".

Boy, if I knew for sure
I'd do my best to advise you
But don't go looking for trouble
Cause it sure as **** might find you
Do your best to look forward -
Nothing good is happening behind you.
I'm not your 'manic pixie dream girl'
AND wrote this to remind you

Yeah so I may have ****** (up) a lot
And I may have demons to deal with
But I'm no longer hiding my skeletons
And they're no longer a foolish myth

Yeah you're my water boy
But I couldn't quench your thirst
Yeah I want you - could never need you -
But then again, what could be worse ?
When a woman is so focused on herself
Every man that meets her path is a curse.

Yeah God could play along
But since when was he your higher power?
Cause every time i see you pray
You find more ways to sit and cower
Maybe over the thought of letting someone in -
Into your stone-cold, makeshift tower.

YOU can try and knock me down
Try to break down everything beside me
But you were never meant for war
And that's something that we can all see
Walls & a slew of chemical weakness -
That's all that you will ever be.

I'd get undressed just to impress you
Knowing all too well
That it left you empty and depressed too
Then I think to myself,
"What's a girl to do? "
Meanwhile you're all alone,
Allowing the chemicals to stew


So watchyu want with a woman like me?
I'd never do what you say.
All I wanted was to love you,
But you kept pushing me away.
