Mannequin
Forget the skeletons in my closet
I'll pose with a mannequin for the public
Lay it out real nice
Specific but vague enough am I right
And I cried while I put away your things
But I'll find you in anything
Especially the metaphoric version of you
Right here in my living room
And I ask her what I want to ask you
And she answers with nothing like you did too
I ask her what I want to ask you
Yeah I ask her what I want to ask you
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
Don't pull out your defensive armor
I just scratched the surface of you
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
'Cause all I've got left of the truth
Is a mannequin version of you
Am I the skeleton in your closet
You'll pose with a man when you're out in public
Make it all seem nice
Specific and not as vague as you'd like
Do you cry when you hear the songs I sing
Or are you even listening
You know that I'll probably always write about you
Even though you don't want me to
And I ask myself what I want to ask you
And I answer with nothing like you did too
I ask myself what I want to ask you
I ask myself what I want to ask you
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
Don't pull out your defensive armor
I just scratched the surface of you
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
'Cause all I've got left of the truth
Is a mannequin version of you
You waved me down
Not sorry now
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
I hope I'm not that person
That you wish you never met
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
Left me with no conclusion
So this question marks the end of it
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
Don't pull out your defensive armor
I just scratched the surface of you
Was I real to you
Was I real to you
'Cause all I've got left of the truth
Is a mannequin version of you
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
It's not what I asked for
But yeah it's what I get
I'll pose with a mannequin for the public
Lay it out real nice
