Dollhouse-

Everyone thinks that we're perfect. Please don't let them look through the curtains.

Carousel-

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go. Will I catch up to love? I could never tell. I know chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel.

And it's all fun and games 'til somebody falls in love, but you've already bought a ticket and there's no turning back now.

Why did you steal my cotton candy heart? You threw it in this damn coin slot, and now I'm stuck riding.

Dead To Me-

My condolences. I'll shed a tear with your family. I'll open a bottle up, pour a little bit out in your memory. I'll be at the wake dressed in all black. I'll call out your name, but you won't call back. I'll hand a flower to your mother when I say goodbye. Cause baby you're dead to me.

I need to kill you. That's the only way to get you out of my head. Oh, I need to kill you to silence all the sweet little things you said. I really want to kill you, wipe you off the face of my earth and bury your bracelet six feet under the dirt.

Rainy days and black umbrellas. Who's gonna save you now? Can you cheat from underground?

Bittersweet Tragedy-

Beginning sweetness never stays

I'm done with your bittersweet tragedy. It's no fun when I'm sitting all alone. You're right in front of me.

You speak sour lemonade to me. The bitter taste won't let me be. One kiss was supposed to be so sweet. But I found grapefruit in your teeth. Old gum, is all you'll ever be to me. I spit you out and brush my teeth.

Melting through the cracks in my hands. I guess I held on for too long

Enough of your bittersweet. Your sugar rots my teeth, clogs up my arteries. Your bittersweet shit is a tragedy!

Cry Baby-

You seem to replace your brain with your heart. You take things so hard and then you fall apart.

Your heart's too big for your body. It's why you won't fit inside. You pour it out where everyone can see.

You're all on your own and you lost all your friends. You told yourself that it's not you, it's them. You're one of a kind and no one understands, but those cry baby tears keep coming back again

I look at you and I see myself. I know you better than anyone else. I have the same faucet in my eyes. So your tears are mine.

They call me cry baby, but I don't f**king care! Cry baby, cry baby. So I laugh through my tears. Cry baby, cry baby. Cause I don't f**king care! Tears fall to the ground; I just let them drown.

Tag You're It-

Running through the parking lot he chased me and he wouldn't stop. Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it. Grabbed my hand and pushed me down took the words right out my mouth. Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it. Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden under ground?Can anybody hear me? Am I talking to myself? Saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it." He's saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it."

Little bit of poison in me, I can taste your skin in my teeth.

Pacify Her-

Someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours. But was he yours if he wanted me so bad?

Alphabet Boy-

You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down. You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry.

I know my ABC's yet you keep teaching me. I say, f**k your degree, alphabet boy! You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry? F**k all your ABC's, alphabet boy!

Mrs. Potato Head-

Kids forever, kids forever. Baby soft skin turns into leather. Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic. No one will love you if you're unattractive.

If you want a little more confidence, potatoes turn to french fries, yeah it's common sense. All you need's a couple more condiments and a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments.

But little girls are learning how to cut and paste and pucker up their lips until they suffocate.

Play Date-

We're just playing hide and seek. It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you. I don't want to play no games. I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you...

I don't give a f**k about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a sh*t about you? You never share your toys or communicate. I guess I'm just a play date to you.

When I try to talk you're always playing board games. I wish I had monopoly over your mind. I wish I didn't care all the time.

Cake-

Your skin is warm like an oven. Your kiss is sugary sweet. Your fingers feel like cotton when you put your arms around me. I feel like I'm just missing something whenever you leave. We've got all the ingredients except you loving me.

I'm not a piece of cake for you to just discard, while you walk away with the frosting of my heart. So I'm taking back what's mine...

Pity Party-

Tell me why the hell no one is here. Tell me what to do to make it all feel better.

Maybe it's a cruel joke on me whatever, whatever. Just means there's way more cake for me forever, forever.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to. I'll cry until the candles burn down this place. I'll cry until my pity party's in flames.

I'm laughing, I'm crying. It feels like I'm dying!

Sippy Cup-

Kids are still depressed when you dress them up.

If they say to kill yourself, then you will try it. All the makeup in the world won't make you less insecure. You got weights in your pockets, when you go to the doctors. Your favorite candy's cotton, that's why all your teeth are rotten,

Mad Hatter-

I'm peeling the skin off my face cause I really hate being safe. The normals- they make me afraid; the crazies- they make me feel sane.

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad. The craziest friend that you've ever had. You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone. Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong. Over the bend, entirely bonkers. You like me best when I'm off my rocker. Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed. So what if I'm crazy? The best people are crazy!

Teddy Bear-

When you started talking in your sleep, saying things you'd do to me. I didn't care, I wasn't scared. Now I'm finding knives under the sheets. Crumbled photographs of me. I'm in despair.
Should I be scared?

Teddy bear, you are my teddy bear. You were comforting and quiet. How did love become so violent? Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear. Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me.
