pen & paper lyrics

This whole routine is getting old
So am I and so are you
My reputation lets me know
I can do whatever I want to

Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees
Don't cry to me no more

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You set yourself up to be sold
And that's okay 'cause that's your goal
Manipulation takes its toll
What will you do when nobody wants you?

Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees
Don't cry to me no more

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

I know I've stood so long beside you
And I know I should've left you right where I had found you
I know I've stood so long beside you
And I know I should've left you right where I had found you

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And you're all the same and when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical
