Maria Weissman - Fool for You

Grateful for all the little ways
You show me you don't care
You never listen to my lyrics
But you sure notice my hair
You don't respond to texts for days
But light up when you see me
You've got a smile that isn't fair
Oh I can guarantee
You're a snack but you're not mine
And I want to taste the world
So thanks for saving me the time
Of trying to be your girl
Oh I can't be hung up on the crumbs of attention you so kindly sometimes toss to me
The air's electric when we're together
But I've got so much, so much more to be
To you I'm just some manic pixie
You don't even really see me
And I am just such a fool for you
Knowing all this still doesn't make it easy
Still I'm grateful for all the little ways
You manage to waste my time
Love the way you say my name
But it's good that you're not mine
Cus if you promised me you'd always watch
I'd perform my life for you
So I'm glad that you've made it clear
That's a waste of time to do
Cus you are a snack but you are not mine
And I want to taste the world
So thanks for saving me the time
Of trying to be your girl
Oh I can't be hung up on the crumbs of attention you so kindly sometimes toss to me
The air's electric when we're together
But I've got so much more to be
To you I'm just some manic pixie
You don't even really see me
And I am just such a fool for you
Knowing all this still doesn't make it easy
Why doesn't knowing all this make it easy…
Well you've burrowed in deep
And I still can't get you off my mind
Guess I'll just keep writing songs
You'll never even find
Honey thank you for the sparks
I don't feel that every day
But it's time for my last shred of self-respect and me
To go right on our way
Cus you are a snack but you are not mine
And I want to taste the world
So thanks for saving me the time
Of trying to be your girl
Oh I can't be hung up on the crumbs of attention you so kindly sometimes toss to me
The air's electric when we're together
But I've got so much, so much more to be
To you I'm just some manic pixie
You don't even really see me
And I am just such a fool for you
Knowing all this still doesn't make it easy
