Mannequin

You never knew me
Just the version of me you wanted me to be
And then you told me
That your love for me only existed conditionally

I know you can't feel the way I feel
You're only a mannequin
A doll, a dress form, a shell of a man
Where your heart should've been
Mannequin, Mannequin

And now I'm hurting
Not because you're gone
But because you never knew
My real feelings
Kept them in all these years
Sacrificing through my tears

I know you can't feel the way I feel
You're only a mannequin
A doll, a dress form, a shell of a man
Where your heart should've been
Mannequin, Mannequin

I never raised my voice
Kept my feelings in
So you could continue to show me off to your friends
You called me stupid
Because I hid from view
All my thoughts and dreams that were separate from you
You said you worked your as$ off for 15 years
So you're not willing to do the work to overcome your fears
Won't meet me in the middle, no compromise
You put up wall so I agreed to smile and nod
Supported you with kindness, through sickness and health
Only for you to go run off with someone else
For 6 years I stayed silent and let you be
I spoke up and then you left without me

I know you can't feel the way I feel
You're only a mannequin
A doll, a dress form, a shell of a man
Where your heart should've been
Mannequin, Mannequin, Mannequin
You're just a mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
Ooh a mannequin. ooo-ooh
