You Say I Look Like A Generic Song

You say I look lovely,
And we're both ready for this Sunday;
I'm a mixed drink
For those who can't decide
And I'm a mixed signal
For all those people
Who don't think they're confused;

You say I look nice;
My lips are painted red
And my heart's sewn together
Like you told me it would be
By the time my homework was done
On this Thursday night
And I got nothin' better to do
Than sing the blues

You say I look cute,
Because I followed the latest
Fashion trend
Of tired eyes and
Smoking in the girl's bathroom
Trying to erase the notes you wrote
When the summer shop had closed

You say I look darling,
An Indie flower I may be,
If my lungs weren't caving in,
I would try to win a game
Of poker in the bathtub
Where all my friends used to sit
And wallow in cheap champagne

You say I look wondrous,
But we both know how
This one goes,
You lie and say I'm
Smooth as silk,
When we understand and see my wrinkles
Have deepened, but my eyes
Have stayed the same

You say, 'I wish
I weren't a liar
And I wish I weren't a saint;
Seattle would be the place for me;
I wouldn't have to lie about your looks
And your over-dramatic
Choice of words,'

You say I look like
I haven't slept in days,
My magazines helped me through
The hopeless nights
And my friends,
But my friends were much
Too cautious around my sharp edges,
Is it my fault
This is how far I have to go
To get you to finally see,
I hate it when you say those
Compliments, oh my,
Because I see between
Each and every one
