Reject me hey Reject me build me up higher It's the status of Idol To which I aspire I could lie to you all And you'd never think twice Selling lip-gloss and hair dye I'm the piper, you're mice Please tell us we're cool And forget that I'm flawed It's the image and the fashion Not the heart that you bought I'll sing for the music And I'll bow for the cheers And I'll hold up a soda While I hold back the tears Forget me hey Forget me I stood for something having all these convictions gets so exhausting I'll pretend that it's worth it All the soul that it's costing You would do it for the money You would do it for fun You would do the same thing If it meant that you'd be shunned From all of the parties And all the premieres This won't feel the same After several years So I'll hold up a soda while I hold back the tears Please tell us we're cool And forget that I'm flawed It's the image and fashion Not the heart that you bought If it's questions you have Or it's insight you need I'm an expert on greed I know it's wrong It's wrong I know Hurting you is wrong I know It's wrong It's wrong I know It's wrong It's wrong
