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 f*ck 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

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
