"Manic Pixie Dream Girl" lyrics

"Manic Pixie Dream Girl"

Yeah, we're different people now
Isn't that a good excuse?
We don't see eye to eye
I don't have that much to lose
I went diving at Hyde park
And lied and said "Wish you were here"
But the truth is I don't think you like that stuff, nor do you care

So you can call me what you want
Reckless, foolish
Nothing that I haven't heard before
You can call me what you want
Crazy, stupid
I guess that I just want a little more
Say I'm a liability
All the extremes
Call me anything you need
What you want me to be

I don't want to float around
My entire life
I don't want to kill myself
Tryna prove that I'm alright
I feel like your manic pixie dream girl
Call me up when you want a good time
The truth is the highs come with the lows
You can't just choose what you like

So you can call me what you want
Reckless, foolish
Nothing that I haven't heard before
You can call it what you want
Crazy, stupid
I guess that I just want a little more
Say I'm a liability
All the extremes
Call me anything you need
What you want me to be

I'd rather be all of those things
Than to let you get to me
So you can call me what you want
Reckless, foolish
Trust me, I've heard it all before
You can call it what you want
Crazy, stupid
I guess that I just want a little more
Say I'm a liability
All the extremes
Call me anything you need
What you want me to be
What do you want me to be?
