"Mannequin" lyrics

"Mannequin"

Listenin' to words that are here and gone
You hum the tune and I sing along
[?] then you change the song
By time I learned you'd already moved on

Catching attention I can't keep from
Chasin' it every time I see it
Livin' my life on a scroll and feed
Tryin' to force the spotlight to stay on me

When it's not enough
You do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up but as deep as skin
You're still a mannequin

Nothin' to show, just a pretty face
Is just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all gettin' famous?
No need to exist when you leave the stage, yeah

When it's not enough
You do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up but as deep as skin
You're still a mannequin

It's gettin' hard to believe what you see on a screen
It's starting to seem like you're just trying to turn it on
And it's a matter of time 'til they see through the lie
You're dying inside and you know you're just gettin' by

Catching attention I can't keep from
Chasin' it every time I see it
Livin' my life on a scroll and feed
Tryin' to force the spotlight to stay on me

Nothin' to show, just a pretty face
Is just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all gettin' famous?
No need to exist when you leave the stage, yeah

Not enough
(Not enough)
You're still a mannequin
You're still a mannequin
(Not enough)
You're still a mannequin
You're still a mannequin
You're still a mannequin
