Who is it you want me to be?
I can see it is she,
but it is not me.
It is not who I am or what I do
I know it's for you
but for me, what did I do?
Prim, proper, perfect to the T
you want me to be she
but it is not me.
Squander my life just for you,
is that what I am to do?
change myself to make you happy
it is what you want
is it what I should be?
Why I want to change
and why I care
I don't even know
you're not even there.
you stare back at me
and you know all
how I feel
and when I fall.
when I see you
I see your pain
I know your life
ours are the same.
as I look in the mirror
you're all I see,
wanting me to change
who I should be.
prim, proper, perfect to the T
it's not who I want to be
you want me to be she
but it is not me.
