Mythologize Me

So cautious, I was

Just a kid and for what it was worth

Well, it wasn't

All of the suffering

I thought, maybe one day

I'll use this in a good way

Isn't it great what I made of it?

Just a boring anorexic

Brain addled, sympathetic

To all who thought me so special and pathetic

I'm just so fucked up

You couldn't understand me

Boy in the backseat, won't you mythologize me?

Make me in your perfect image of a girl

So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for

Your needs to give me meaning

Oh, what a relief from feeling

Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste

Of my potential that they said would come with pain

All I can do is fantasize

About how you fantasize about me

Ain't it great?

Show up late

On your arm

Set the slate

Talk my ear off and wait til the band starts to play

In the crowd I am anyone

I'm dancing all crazy

You shoot me a look and I know I'm misbehaving

If I ever said

"Hey, fuck you" and lost my head

You know, I would bet you'd find a way to find it sexy

Make me in your perfect image of a girl

Batshit crazy

All I need is you to turn my world right side up again

What would I ever do without men?

Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste

Of my potential that they said would come with pain

All I can do is fantasize

About how you fantasize about me

Make me in your perfect image of a girl

So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for

Your needs to give me meaning

Oh, what a relief from feeling

Call me only when you wanna pick a fight

Bout how you could never love me when it's right

When I get myself together I know

You won't want me when I'm better
