Meet cute, so soon, too good to be true love
But we make up any sing from above
You like what I represent, I like the attention
Mistake it for romance

Captain Cardboard, I'm the source of your kicks
Who needs a life when I have yours to fix
Glow up for the party scene, blow up when it's time to clean
Camera's off, so are we

Build me up and love me like I am your dream girl
Fall apart and love you like I am your dream girl
Just play the role and be my man, yeah
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl (manic pixie dream girl)

Get determined to be disappointed
At this point, I'm better as an idea
You say that I'm actin' different when I stop pretendin'
To show up just for show

Build me up and love me like I am your dream girl
Fall apart and love you like I am your dream girl
Just play the role and be my man, yeah
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl

Sorry that I wasted all of your prime time
Sorry that I wasted mine
Tryna be somebody bigger than my body
Tryin' to rely on a lie, ba-da-da, no-no, whoa

Build me up and love me like I am your dream girl
Fall apart and love you like I am your dream girl
Just play the role and be my man, yeah
I'll be your, I'll be your, I'll be your

Build me up and love me like I am your dream girl (dream girl)
Fall apart and love you like I am your dream girl (dream girl)
Just play the role and be my man, yeah
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl
