Can't stand the "don't buy that doll" part either. I'm not sure there's really any better way to describe a cardboard cutout but meh, sounds so weird in the song.

What's also weird given the mentions of the cardboard cut out/ lifesize paper doll and whatnot, the song is almost too specific and personal, you know? But yet the general feeling is so relatable. Heck, I wish it had been out in my teens because i was always writing ridiculous love poems and songs so I LOVE the "Go and write some real songs" line. Brings back my very first brokenheart and that adolescent intensity of everything. But I don't think most of can relate to the paper doll or "another famous friend told me".

The song is ridiculously catchy though. I will have it stuck in my head for days now just discussing it! I love the part when the guitar picks up and all, such a gorgeous melody. I've played the song for people and zoomed ahead even to that part just so I can gush over it.

this, along with "my friends as well as me" … urgh…..

Not sure it's as bad as "she even felt bad/about even dying" …..that one is just….wtf [yes, I know that's a different song. But it's still one of the most grating lyrics on the album]
