Patron Saint

Hey you, you’re standing in my way
A solid obstacle you make
I want an answer or at least the truth
I try to please you every day
But still it’s all that you can say
You want a hit cause you don’t want to lose
And as you scream the words out loud
You’re trying hard to force a crowd
And you should slice me 'cause I’m just your meat
You could sell me at the store
But you don’t want to anymore
I am your used Thanksgiving Day Parade float
Oh, I gotta stop
Living like I’m not
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don’t know
Oh, I gotta stop
Pushing it to pop
I don’t care about the label 'cause it don’t mean a lot
Maybe the times have never changed
I’m just a puppet in your game
You’re not my Patron Saint if I say so
You can’t control me with your words
Despite you’re using them like swords
I can’t believe I let you get this close
Oh, I gotta stop
Living like I’m not
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don’t know
Oh, I gotta stop
Pushing it to pop
I don’t care about the label 'cause it don’t mean a lot
Now I see I let you down
But you still won’t let me out
Yeah you told me that you needed me
It doesn’t really show
Oh, I gotta stop
Living like I’m not
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don’t know
Oh, I gotta stop
Pushing it to pop
I don’t care about the label 'cause it don’t mean a lot
I am last season’s mannequin
No longer cute and in fashion
I am the Christmas song that you don’t know
I am the summer at the shore
You don’t remember anymore
I am the novel that you wish you wrote
