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 should you slice me 'cause I'm just your meat
You could sell me at your 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 that 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 doesn'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 that 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 doesn'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 really doesn't show
Oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby I don't know

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

Oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that 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 really doesn't show
Oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby I don't know

Now I see I let you down, but you still won't let me out
Yeah, you told me that you needed me it really doesn't show
Oh, I gotta stop living like I'm not
Yeah, you said that you believed in me, but baby I don't know
