you told me
there was nothing
that i had to change
about myself

i believed you.

but now
i stare in the mirror
and take a good look
at myself

maybe i was too fat
maybe my face looked uglier
maybe my voice sounded
a little bit deeper

and now
i cry myself to sleep
wondering
and
pondering

what i should have
changed
about myself

because if i did,
perhaps you would have
had a reason
to stay
a little much longer.

it might be
a little too late for that
however

because now
there is another

and she
looks just like me
has a face like mine
speaks like me

- i just
wasn't her.

has my dream body
has a pretty little face
has a sweet loving voice

- she was
just better.
