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 nevеr really loved me
And you'rе 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
