I don't know why I'm trying
I see in this no use
And no one is really falling
For my not so captivating ruse
You like girls who are picture perfect
Skinny, tall, bleach blonde
You only care for looks
You never try to see beyond
What's meant to be will find a way
But this isn't meant to be
I'm not gonna be your play thing
And I don't look like a model on TV
I used to want to impress you
So I tried to fit in
But then I learned if I gave up
I would never win
I tried so hard to be
Someone that I'm not
I wanted to be the girl for you
Skinny, pretty, hot
But why should I change who I am
Just to impress you?
You didn't notice anyway
It was you who never knew
I tried for you to be perfect
Until I realized I was fine
Everyone has quirks
You've got to read between the lines
So why give it all up to be someone I'm not?
I have friends that love me
They don't care that I'm not "hot"
Why try to fit in
When I was born to stand out in the crowd
I'll live my life the way I want
I'll scream and laugh out loud
If you're looking for the "perfect" girl
I'm afraid all hope is lost
Searching for something that doesn't exsist
Will come at a high cost
Love isn't finding the perfect person
It's about seeing an imperfect person flawlessly
If you can't learn that nobody's perfect
I guess you're not for me
