I’m standing here,
Waiting for you
Somewhere in the cold
This sensation getting old
Trying to ignore this pain that I feel
Every time it comes I wish I wasn’t real

I’m beginning to wonder,
Why am I here?
Of course, to keep you all happy.
It’s my job to feel crappy.

Yes that’s it.
I’m here for you
But can you even see me?
Your not helping me be true

Get inside my head,
Figure out what’s wrong?
No, that would take to long.
Instead you just make me what you want
Because I’m not good enough
You need someone to taunt!

Here I am! Here I am!
I’m doing this for you!

Can’t you see?
I’m not perfect
Not now, that isn’t me
Let me enlighten you,
I’m trying to get FREE!

I don’t like who you’re making me be
I like who I am and don’t wanna change
You’ll never wanna see
Not me for me.
Please just let me be!

You gotta make me “better”
Your “perfect” little girl
Your shining little star
Huh! Can’t let her wander far!
Every time I get so close
I wish you’d let me be
No shining stars or big bright cars
No talent but being me.

I like who I am
And you would too,
Just try knowing me for me.
Accept that I am human too,
And you make mistakes,
Get off my case!!!!

Take a look in the mirror,
I wonder what you see.
Do you see you?
Or an older version of me.
You made these mistakes.
You did this too.

You were just like me,
Maybe even worse.
Why can’t you love me?
That is all I thirst!
But I guess you’d be the first.
