I don’t want to lie anymore
I will show you the real me
The pretensions have been too gore
And somehow, I’ve been pushed to flee
I do not fit your expectations
Of a skinny little thing with bright eyes
There’s something more to me
Than all those petrified lies
There is a place in me
That I know you might love
But there you will see
All my flaws that are unworthy of…
All your praise about a beautiful girl
For I was just one pretender
Who wanted to be a part of your world
But there I stand covered in dirt
I don’t want to lie anymore
Since I found you
The kindness you’ve shown me
Doesn’t make me want to prove…
Anything to anyone who judges unfairly
You told me they will make it barely
Through this world they shall not yield
To anyone who crosses their minefields
Again I am not one of those dreamy women
Who turns heads of countless boys
I am just a plain looking girl
Whose beauty inside is waiting to unfold
So tell me now before I waste my time
Will you still wait for my time to shine?
