Hey you, you're standing in my way
A solid obstacle you make
I want an answer or at least the truth
I try to please you every day
But still it's all that you can say
You wanna hit 'cause you don't want to lose
And as you scream the words out loud
You're trying hard to force a crowd
And should you slice me 'cause I'm just your meat?
You could sell me at your store
But you don't want to anymore
I am your used Thanksgiving Day parade float
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
Oh-oh, I gotta stop pushing it to pop
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
Maybe the times have never changed
I'm just a puppet in your game
You're not my patron saint if I say so
You can't control me with your words
Despite your using them like swords
I can't believe I let you get this close
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
Oh-oh, I gotta stop pushing it to pop
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
Now I see I let you down, but you still won't let me out
Yeah, you told me that you needed me, it really doesn't show
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
I am last season's mannequin
No longer cute and in fashion
I am the Christmas song that you don't know
I am the summer at the shore
You don't remember anymore
I am the novel that you wish you wrote
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
Oh-oh, I gotta stop pushing it to pop
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
Now I see I let you down, but you still won't let me out
Yeah, you told me that you needed me, it really doesn't show
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
(I gotta stop living like I'm not)
(Believed in me, but baby, I don't know)
(I gotta stop pushing it to pop)
(The label doesn't mean a lot)
Now I see I let you down, but you still won't let me out
Yeah, you told me that you needed me, it really doesn't show
Oh-oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby, I don't know
