Malleable

You didn't mean to hurt me

You were just being honest

Well, honestly, I'm hurting

Yeah, that's the truth, I promise

So, why'd you have to say that?

What was it you were wanting?

How did you think I'd take that?

'Cause you seem surprised about me crying

I've been so malleable

So easily defined by you

Thought it made me valuable

To be exactly what you wanted

It's just impractical

To be a fraction of myself for you

Thought it made me valuable

But this isn't what I wanted

You said my name so gently

And then you dropped the bomb

You never really loved me

And you're still surprised about me crying

I've been so malleable

So easily defined by you

Thought it made me valuable

To be exactly what you wanted

It's just impractical

To be a fraction of myself for you

Thought it made me valuable

But this isn't what I wanted

I was like putty in your hands

Looking back, I understand

I woulda done better if I knew how to

You turned me into someone, and I allowed you

I was a board to pin your dreams

And this is not a reckoning, but

I walk away with nothing, and it reminds me

If I don't start looking, I'll never find me

I've been so malleable

So easily defined by you

Thought it made me valuable

To be exactly what you wanted, oh

It's just impractical

To be a fraction of myself for you

Thought it made me valuable

But this isn't what I wanted

It's just impractical

To be a fraction of myself for you

Thought it made me valuable

But this isn't what I wanted
