Teenage Dream (Deluxe)

Barbie

I'm not perfect in any way 

There is nothing that you can say 

That will convince me 

Sometimes I wonder why life sucks 

I wonder why I can't just luck 

And get myself out of here in a monster truck 

It sucks when you have more than one thing you identify 

People will look at you and question why you're alive 

And then tell you that being different is nothing but a lie 

And then you sit there questioning your black and white 

I wish that I had the life of Barbie 

Where everything is perfect and all doused in pink 

I wish that I could identify as one 

But I see that I could never be just one 

So put me back in the playhouse and watch me fall apart 

I'm not trying to fall apart 

But it doesn't seem like my smile is getting far 

I'm trying a perfect body so I starve 

And I kept telling myself no 

But I just went ahead and let go 

Because I hated myself more 

It sucks when you feel like you're losing everything 

When you can't even date somebody without crying 

Because you always know that the lover is actually lying 

And secretly you're hoping that soon you'll be dying 

I wish that I had the life of Barbie 

Where everything is perfect and all doused in pink 

I wish that more people understood me 

Where they won't take one look and leave 

And I'm tired everyday so let me stay away from everyone 

God, please take me back to Earth before 

Where it's wrong for a they/them to open the door 

Because I wouldn't exist to here the score 

Of whether or not expression is allowed a little more 

I'm so tired of letting it all get past my door 

I wish that I had the life of Barbie 

Where no matter the age I'm always pretty 

I wish that there was no one unhappy 

But here I am refusing to look in the mirror 

And maybe it's unhealthy but I still see myself as the monster 

But all I want to be is someone like Barbie
