[Verse 1]

All my life, I've lived on the outside

It's fine, I shouldn't be surprised

You say so much with your eyes

What do I not dazzle you?

I don't do the dance you'd like me to

I thought this was the future but

I still need your approval just

To get on with my day

[Chorus]

I could play it up

Until you call my bluff

Pretend I'm porcelain

Another poster princess

Hey!

Hey!

[Verse 2]

Gawking eyes, I'm calm but terrified

The corners of my doll mouth painted up

Just aim to please, don't make a fuss

Determine worth by what we see

Ignoring oceans underneath

But I'm so bored of saying please

Love me love me love me, baby

Do you love me? Oh

[Chorus]

I could play it dumb

Until you come undone

Pretend I'm porcelain

Another poster princess

Hey!

Hey!

[Verse 3]

All my life, I've lived on the outside

It's fine, I shouldn't be surprised

You say so much with your eyes

Well, I'm fading in your grip again

All milquetoasted and mannequinned

Will you miss me when I'm just them?

Will you miss me when I'm just like all the rest?

[Chorus]

I could play it up

Until you call my bluff

Pretend I'm porcelain

Another poster princess

I could play it up (down on my knees)

Until you call my bluff (just what you need)

Perfect and porcelain

But I'm not your poster princess

Hey!

Hey!

(Down o my knees) Hey!

(Just what you need)

Hey!
