Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Manic pixie dream girl

It is me, your MPDG
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Sting like heroin in your veins
Have you ever seen such beautiful pain?

I come just to leave
I go in like cigarette smoke as you breathe
I can fill that hole inside your heart
And make you regret it from the start

I am fun, full of love and life
And i will be the one meeting your back to a knife
I will sneak you out of your house
All just playing cat and mouse

I will help you find yourself
But all you needed all along was on the shelf
I will leave just as fast as I came
And i’ll watch you look for me in every girl you meet again

I put makeup on, I take it off
My skin bruised but still soft
My past will never be seen
Because why would you see something so unclean?

In your eyes, I’m an oxymoron of a girl
You look up my skirt as I twirl
But don’t let me catch your gaze
After all, all i am is just a phase
