Evertime I open my mouth
I try to be somebody who
Isn't me.
I speak more softly
To try to sound sweet.
I sing louder
To try to sound strong.
I tell jokes
To make you think I'm funny.
I stand taller
When you're around.
I smile prettier when
I'm in your presence.
One day, you'll realize,
I'm loud,
I can't really sing,
I'm weak,
I'm not really that funny,
I'm short,
And I can be a real bitch
Sometimes.
I'm not your dream girl.
And I probably never will be.
But you love me anyway.
And that's all I'll ever need.
