Everything's so easy
When I'm up there on the stage
The limelight keeps me warm
And the music keeps me safe
But when I come back down here
I don't know who I wanna be
What's suppose to come so easily
Is the hardest thing for me
The hardest thing for me
I'm not your Monday, Wifey, your better or your half
Can't be your honey, sunny, everyday Joanne
But there is something I can be in this weird world
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl
My grandma left my father
To pursue her own career
Maybe that's why I decided
Not to have anyone near
You'll find me in the sparkles
In the In sound of the Applause
Oh I wish I didn't need it
But I'm addicted to the noise
I'm addicted to the noise
I'm not your Monday, Wifey, your better or your half
Can't be your honey, sunny, everyday Joanne
But there is something I can be in this weird world
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl
I'm an anxious angel
Keep preparing for the worst
If you ever come in my way
You'll be second never first
I give your life some color
Then I'll go home with nothing left
Is that my only purpose
And the thing that I do best
The thing I do best
I'm not your Monday, Wifey, your better or your half
Can't be your honey, sunny, everyday Joanne
But there is something I can be in this weird world
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl
I'll be your manic pixie dream girl
