So I don't see how the story ends
I'm your idol, you're my biggest fan
Turn me to a fantasy
Masquerades and make-believe
Put me on a pedestal
Then pull it out from under me
Playing house, then playing dead
That girl was only in your head
Imagining an audience
So I put on a show for them
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
You size me up with a single look
Say you read me like a picture book
And you believe it, 'cause of course you would
You saw my beauty as something conventional
Playing a character so undimensional
There's no exceptions, I can't be exceptional
Not a real person, I'm something conceptual
I'm your manic pixie dream
Learn your lesson, then you leave
Put me on a pedestal
Then pulled it out from under me
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man (written by a man)
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
