That Girl

IT’S NO LONGER BLACK OR WHITE,

EVERYONE’S FADING INTO DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREY,

WE’RE ALL BLENDING INTO THE BACKGROUND,

BECAUSE EVERYONE’S AFRAID TO STAND UP AND SAY WHAT THEY THINK

SO WHAT IF YOU’RE LITTLE DIFFERENT,

SO WHAT IF YOU DON’T FIT IN,

 STAND UP, SHOUT OUT

SHOW THEM WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF NOW,

TIME IS WEARING THIN

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL WHO HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE,

I DON’T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO GO WITH THE TIDE

I’M REALLY DIFFERENT AND I’M GOING TO LET EVERYONE KNOW

‘CAUSE THEY CANT WALK A MILE IN THESE SHOES,

LIVE UP TO MY NAME OR DO WHAT I DO

SHE’S DEPRIVING HERSELF OF SELF EXPRESSION’

SHE’S TOO WEAK TO SPEAK OUT BECAUSE SHE CANT STAND REJECTION

I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE HER,

LITLE ENEMIES, BUT LOTS OF FAKE FRIENDS,

EVERY SMILE IS A SCOWL, EVERY GRIN IS A GROWL

SHE’S TAKING EVERYTHING WAY TOO LITERALLY

EVERYTHING SHE’S KEEPING IN IS DAMAGING HER SOUL,

GUILT IS EATING HE INSIDE OUT JUST BECAUSE OF STORIES SHE’S NEVER TOLD

SECRECY S REALLY DEADLY,

WELL I DON’T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO LAYS THERE IN RUINS

 I JUST WANT TO DO MY OWN THING

FADING INTO THE SHADOWS

DROWNING IN THE MURKY WATERS

LOOKING AT HER DISTORTED REFLECTION

 EVERY CRACK IN THE MIRROR IS BECAUSE OF REJECTION

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL WHO TAEKS HER LIFE

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL WHO HAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO HIDE

SHE’S SO INSECURE, NEVER HAS ENOUGH ALWAYS WANTING MORE

NEVER SATISFIED, AMBITION IS HER ALIBI

HAVE A MILLION REASONS FOR MESSING UP

BUT WHO’S COUNTING

I ONLY KNOW ONE THING,

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL WHO LIVES TO PLEASE EVERYONE

I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL WHO FADES INTO THE BACKGROUND

WHO WANTS TO SHOUT, WHO WANTS TO SCREAM, BUT DOESN’T MAKE A SOUND

‘CAUSE SHE’S LYING TO HERSELF, SHE’S PUTTING HERSELF THROUGH STRESS

SHE CAN’T SURVIVE

‘CAUSE SHE’S LIVING A LIE

I CAN BE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD

BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL
