I Can't Be Her

The girl you want me to be

Isn't me and can never be

She's flawless and perfect

Everything you dream I could be

I'm flawed and here

Though I feel like I'm elsewhere

I don't belong these laws aren't mine

I stand out in a crowd

I can never be me

I'm always empty

I'm never home

Why can't I just find the one

The one who wants me for me

Not the person everyone expects me to be

The one whose smile and brights up the room

The one to never shed a tear

The one who wears dresses and skirts

Not pants and shirts

The one who has a salad for lunch

Who never tasted a Mac

Why can't I be perfect not flawed

I guess me isn't good enough

I guess I should be fake

No reason to be real

I can't feel not anymore

All I can do is sit and stare blankly

And hear you wish that the girl I was reappears

The girl I was is gone

She was never enough

So she's now a part of me joined together we are

We join as one and hope to be enough

But we know that we will never be

So goodbye dear world we both hope we never meet you again
