Sometimes I feel like an unfinished doll
No eyes, no hair, no arms to cross
Sometimes I feel like the alphabet of misery

A is for Apple that will poison and choke me

But when you draw me

There's a hole where my heart should be
And I could take my crayons and color it red
Decorate the monster underneath my bed

With flowers, and pearls, and pretty things
But that's not me
You know me

That's not me

I'm the girl who lived in the purple house

Tryin' to sneak in and out quiet as a mouse
Sometimes the monsters would sneak out into the driveway
People saw me and all they saw was strange


But when you draw me
There's a hole where my heart should be

And I could take my crayons and color it red
Decorate the monster underneath my bed
With flowers, and pearls, and pretty things

But that's not me
You know me
That's not me


I always feel like the doubtful guest, oh
People whisperin', wishin' I would leave underneath their breath


But when you draw me
There's a hole where my heart should be

And I could take my crayons and color it red
Decorate the monster underneath my bed
But when you draw me

There's a hole where my heart should be
And I could take my crayons and color it red
Decorate the monster underneath my bed

With flowers, and pearls, and pretty things
But that's not me
You know me

That's not me
That's not me
