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?

So now that I've grown up a little
I've got a question for you

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
You know I will never play dumb again
