Dumb Enough

You are the lighthouse in the ocean
Pointing out the safer path
But I preferred adventure
I guess you couldn't handle that
And when I want to look pretty
You prefer me with no makeup on
But that day when I lay sick in bed
You asked where my effort had gone

So am I dumb enough for you yet?
Are you satisfied?
Put the burden of Atlas on my shoulders
Stoop to tell me I look beautiful tonight
Am I dumb enough for you yet?
Do you feel powerful?
Watch me shrivel to try to please you
Hold out praises as I crumble
And I don't understand
Why don't you understand
That I'm not your stupid little pet
So oh great smart wise master, tell me
Am I dumb enough for you yet?

You are the strong alpha wolf
Leading the pack
But you know that's a myth, don't you?
You never liked that
I no longer show you
The things I am proud of
Because that would make me
A show off, know it all loudmouth

Am I dumb enough for you yet?
Are you satisfied?
Put the burden of Atlas on my shoulders
Stoop to tell me I look beautiful tonight
Am I dumb enough for you yet?
Do you feel powerful?
Watch me shrivel to try to please you
Hold out praises as I crumble
And I don't understand
Why don't you understand
That I'm not your stupid little pet
So oh great smart wise master, tell me
Am I dumb enough for you yet?

I met you at a bar once
Got off stage, you pop up
Tell me everything's wrong with how I play
I'm young and dumb
I think I'm supposed to
Stay nice, stay cute, stay kind
The ingenue
I tried
This time I'm over it
Goodbye

Was I dumb enough for you then?
Were you satisfied?
Watch the burden slip off my shoulders
As I realize I don't need your lies
Was I dumb enough for you then?
Oh, did you feel powerful?
Well I'm fed up with your bullshit
It's your turn to crumble
And I don't understand
Why don't you understand?
I was never your stupid little pet
So oh great smart wise master
Listen close
I will never play dumb again
