I was perfect like a paper doll
Let you pose me just how you want
I'll let you know me but without the flaws
And it was easy giving you the pen
So I don't see how the story ends
I'm your idol you're my biggest fan
Turn me to a fantasy
Masquerades and make-believe
Put me on a pedestal
Then pull it out from under me
Playing house, then playing dead
That girl was only in your head
Imagining an audience
So I put on a show for them
You size me up with a single look
Say you read me like a picture book
Can you believe it?
Cause of course you would
You saw my beauty as something conventional
Playing a character so undimensional
There's no exceptions I can't be exceptional
Not a real person I'm something conceptual
I'm your manic pixie dream
Learn your lesson, then you leave
Put me on a pedestal
Then pulled it out from under me
