[Verse 1]
I'm sorry I wasn't who you wanted
I'm sorry I took time away from
The search of a girl who doesn't exist
Lipstick in berry wasn't always what I went with
But it stained the end of your cigarette
And you called it art
And called me a myth
[Pre-Chorus]
You held my hand in the theater
For a minute
But it wasn't enough
So you got up
And jumped into the movie screen
[Chorus]
You fell in love with a manic pixie dream girl
Who looked perfect in every shot and every word
Was pulled from a verse
Manufactured
To captivate
You found her in a corner of a room, spotlighted
Looking unexcited like she didn't belong in this world
And you couldn't wait to uncover
What lied under her hardcore exterior
[Verse 2]
You never knew me, darling
You just saw my mess
Tragedies aren't always beautiful
But you loved me most when I was stressed
Something inside me makes me wanna dress
In something scarlet red
But you just watched me act like I had nothing left
[Pre-Chorus]
You held my hand in the theater
For a minute
But it wasn't enough
So you got up
And jumped into the movie screen
[Chorus]
You fell in love with a manic pixie dream girl
Who looked perfect in every shot and every word
Was pulled from a verse
Manufactured
To captivate
You found her in a corner of a room, spotlighted
Looking unexcited like she didn't belong in this world
And you couldn't wait to uncover
What lied under her hardcore exterior
[Out]
She wears a leather jacket as a barrier
And I own one too but she wears it better
'Cause damage is pretty
Only on screen
But no one out here will be your muse
No one is as unreal as you
We could've had this but you wanted a concept
I'm sorry I'm not a myth
But I exist
I'm sorry I wasn't who you wanted
I'm sorry I took time away from
The search of a girl who doesn't exist
Lipstick in berry wasn't always what I went with
But it stained the end of your cigarette
And you called it art
And called me a myth
[Pre-Chorus]
You held my hand in the theater
For a minute
But it wasn't enough
So you got up
And jumped into the movie screen
[Chorus]
You fell in love with a manic pixie dream girl
Who looked perfect in every shot and every word
Was pulled from a verse
Manufactured
To captivate
You found her in a corner of a room, spotlighted
Looking unexcited like she didn't belong in this world
And you couldn't wait to uncover
What lied under her hardcore exterior
[Verse 2]
You never knew me, darling
You just saw my mess
Tragedies aren't always beautiful
But you loved me most when I was stressed
Something inside me makes me wanna dress
In something scarlet red
But you just watched me act like I had nothing left
[Pre-Chorus]
You held my hand in the theater

I'm sorry I'm not a myth
But I exist
