Look at the way you're looking at me Like a product on a shelf, like some shiny jewelry Check the price tag, tap the glass Wondering how long my quiet little smile will last You want a pretty little doll that you can pose and undress But God forbid I ever show a little human mess. You want the aesthetic without the anatomy. You want the sweetness, without the tragedy. Well, I bleed, I break, I cry, I shout I'm not a puzzle you can just figure out And pack back in the box when the game gets old I got a whole lot of fire, I don't do what I'm told. I am flesh, I am bone, I’m a masterpiece of flaws! I don’t exist to wait around for your applause! I’m a woman, I’m a human, I’m a riot, I’m a soul I was never yours to own, never yours to control! So take your hands off the merchandise, boy! I am a human being, I ain't your toy! You think my heart is plastic, you think my tears are fake How many pieces of my mind do you think you can take? You want a mute accessory to stand by your side But I got an ocean of feelings that I'm refusing to hide. Yeah, I make mistakes, I get loud, I get mean I am the messiest beautiful thing you've ever seen. 'Cause I bleed, I break, I cry, I shout I'm not a puzzle you can just figure out And pack back in the box when the game gets old I got a whole lot of fire, I don't do what I'm told! I am flesh, I am bone, I’m a masterpiece of flaws! I don’t exist to wait around for your applause! I’m a woman, I’m a human, I’m a riot, I’m a soul I was never yours to own, never yours to control! So take your hands off the merchandise, boy! I am a human being, I ain't your toy! Do you know what it takes to carry this weight? To smile at the table while you serve me on a plate? I'm breathing! I'm hurting! I'm alive, can't you see?! Stop projecting your shiny little fantasies on me! I am real! Not your toy. Not your little game. Yeah... flesh and blood. I'm a human being. Remember that.
