Be The Girl

I want to be the girl
The one that knows everything
The one that can play every part
The one that has many friends
The one that smile lights up the room

But everything that I don't know
It trips me up
And I fall down

Every part that I don't play
It tears me down
Breaks me apart

All the friends that I don't have
They all kill me
Like they want me dead

The smile that isn't bright
How I can't even smile with my eyes
I'm not happy at all

I want to be the girl
The girl that turns every head in the room
The girl that eyes shine like the stars
The girl that wears everything like wings

But every head that doesn't turn
It's like I'm not wanted

Every time I can tell my eyes aren't shining
Every time I look up in the night

Every time I'm not comfortable with what I wear
Every time I don't have those wings

I want to be the girl
The one that is confident
The one that is pretty
The one that is smart

But my confidence is so low

Skin wise my face isn't the clearest

Grade wise I'm not always the highest

But I still want to be that girl
I want to be that girl
The girl that I envy
The girl that makes me feel so dumb
The girl that makes the boys turn

I said the girl that everyone wants to be
The girl who everyone is so jealous of
That girl isn't me
But I'd do anything for it to be

I wish to be that girl
Cause she knows everything
She can play every part
She has all those friends
And her smile lights up the room
She makes everyone's head turn
Her eyes shine like the stars
And I swear she wears wings
She is confident
So pretty
So smart
So easy to envy
She makes everyone so jealous

That girl who I want to be
I want to be the girl
