Pretty Genius

Boy I bet they think you been a good boy
 And I bet they think you been goin' to church
 You been praying to god instead of breaking my heart
 I wanna know what lies you been telling yourselves
 I was the one bleeding
 But you and your friends victimized yourselves
 Play the guitar for me
 While I'm naked in the bathtub
 Tell me baby, "I like you like this"
 When I'm laying face-down on my mattress
 A mindless submissive
 No, you didn't like a pretty genius
 You wanted a pathetic girl
 To pretend to save from the world
 You couldn't save me from a god damn thing
 You can't even save yourself
 Go pretend with someone else
 Someone else
 Someone simple
 Blonde hair
 A couple dimples
 Someone sprightly and dumb
 Doesn't recognize wrong
 Someone you can outshine in the name of love
 (Love)
 I guess you couldn't take it
 My greatness
 So, you played the guitar for me
 But you never played my music
 I said, "Babe, it's my identity
 That you steal when you don't say I'm a musician
 Now a mindless submissive."
 Cause you didn't like a pretty genius
 You wanted a pathetic girl
 To pretend to save from the world
 (You didn't like a pretty genius)
 You couldn't save me from a god damn thing
 (Not a god damn thing, not a god damn thing)
 You can't even save yourself
 Go pretend with someone else
 You didn't like a pretty genius
 (Oh)
 You wanted a pathetic girl
 To pretend to save from the world
 Four blue eyes
 Dark brown hair
 They both loved drinking and John Mayer
 He was the funniest person in the world
 And for a little while
 He was her hero
 But the monsters rushed in
 And ripped through her skin
 They were scared of how she'd glimmer when the lights were dim
 She was one true thing in a miserable crowd
 She's a musician
 Not a submissive
 She didn't need him
 And he knew it
 God, it drove him mad
 (God, it drove him mad)
 So, when their lies started a fire
 He let her burn and he ran
 (And he ran)
 You didn't like a pretty genius
 (ooo)
 You wanted a pathetic girl
 To pretend to save from the world
 No, you didn't like a pretty genius
 You wanted a pathetic girl
 To pretend to save from the world
 You couldn't save me from a god damn thing
 You can't even save yourself
 Go pretend with someone else
