mannequin

(When I say "I don't", you say "I won't"
I just wanna know
When I say "I don't", you say "I won't"
I just wanna know
I will never be your slave just so you know
I am not your mannequin babe just so you know)

Deafened silence moves through air
You ask why I'm upset so sudden
I say I've been going through the motions
But you know that's a lie
And I won't tell you why
Post-break heartache runs wild through me
Adam's ale drifts easy with me
While your cheeks are red with fury
Mine are blue from the crash
It went by so fast

You govern me like cotton string
You're a ventriloquist
Move my lips and speak through me
Like all I am is a skeleton
Of your perfect dream girl
Complying with every order you give
Just a mannequin

I cried all night on our 5 month anniversary
But I tried just to stand by
Every time you said you needed me
'Cause I'll be dammed if I'm the bad guy
After all of these fights and long nights
My god last summer was a blazing July
Trying not to die when I said goodbye

You govern me like cotton string
You're a ventriloquist
Move my lips and speak through me
Like all I am is a skeleton
Of your perfect dream girl
Complying with every order you give

You took a bite out of me
Like all I am is your exit
I'm trying to see
How your most precious fantasy
Was to put a baby in me
All I wanted was my innocence

(When I say "I don't" you say "I won't"
I just wanna know
When I say "I don't" you say "I won't"
I just wanna know
I will never be your slave just so you know
I am not your mannequin, babe
Just so you know)
