Mother oh mother,
When may I go?

Mother oh mother,
I'm locked all alone

Mother oh mother,
Why won't you unlock me?

Mother oh mother,
I'm dying inside

Mother oh mother,
When can I be free?

Mother oh mother,
You aren't my mother

Mother oh mother,
You're the witch in the tower

Witch oh witch
Why keep me here?

Witch oh witch,
Who are you really?

Witch oh witch,
I just realized--
You're me

Me oh me,
Why can't I be free?

Like a joker I looked
Being laughed and teased
No retaliation or rejections

Being a clown is what I'm good at
but deep down
This clown, mind.

I feel like I'm falling
But I'm standing straight on my feet
I feel like I'm dying
But I can hear my heart beat
I feel like crying
But I don't shed a tear
I want you gone
But I need you right here

Don't move on to another girl
Come back to me
To our fantasy world
You can be the prince
I will be the princess
You can save me
From all the evil villains
We were holding hands
Together we were happy
I'm dreaming of
My fairytale ending

My head is spinning
My ears are ringing
From listening to our song
To me it's like a lullaby
But it makes me cry
Cause it brings back memories
Of the happy days
That used to be
Did you forget
About you and me

I saw you with that other girl
Now you don't smile
Anymore
You know that you
Were meant to be
With me
Don't move in to another girl
Come back to me
To our fantasy world
You can be the prince
I can be the princess
You can save me from all the evil villians

I'm the damsel in distress
Your my Prince Charming
You say don't
Worry, I'm coming
Me and you together
We are always happy
Finally I've got
My fairytale ending

You left me behind
Don't you know I'm a
Diamond in the rough

You said you'd never
Leave me
You said I wasn't
Good enough

You said
My eyelashes didn't curl
The right way
And sure, my hair didn't
Always tend to stay
So what, I gotta a little
Peach fuzz on my face

But let me tell you one thing

When your coming back to me
Don't expect me
To accept your apology x2

Cause finally
I feel happy
Because you can see x2

How many boys in
the world
Would love this
Imperfect girl
Would love an imperfect girl
They love an imperfect girl
I'm an imperfect girl, girl

I may not walk down a runway
Not everybody knows my name
But guess what?
That's okay!

Can't you see
I don't need my name in lights
And I don't need you to tell me
How to live my life
I'm alright, alright
With wearing a $20 dress
My goal aren't to be like everybody else

Can't wait to see

When your
Crawling back to me
Back to me
Begging
Baby please
Baby please
Come back to me
Come back to me

Don't expect me
To accept your petty
Apologies
It won't work on me
No, it doesn't work on me
Now you can see

How many boys in
this world
Would love this
Imperfect girl
Oh,
Would love an imperfect girl
They love an imperfect girl
I'm an imperfect girl, girl
Yeah
We're imperfect girls

I put the dull side to my wrist
Call it a practice run
Wondering if I will be missed
The day the deed is done

You may call it what you like
I call it, had enough
It may look a lot like suicide
But what it is, is freedom's road

It don't much matter where it goes
I only know of where I've been
And there I hope against all hope
I never do go back again

So I place the dull side to my wrist
And call it a practice run
All the while wondering if I'll be missed
On the day the deed is done

If one is never fully dressed without a smile
Then I must be naked all the time

I am but willing prey to the wiles of the full grown moon.
She guards the night sky...
While I patrol these grounds...
Grieving over the seconds that have gone too soon.

I am a vessel... all emptied and barren.
what once was full,
now echoes faint
the glories of yesteryears.
Afloat still, adrift upon the currents... aimless and sullen.

I am a ghost... haunting no one but my own.
Immortalised...
Anchored...
to a body of mist and haze...
Occupying this space where worthy wind had once blown...

I am a beggar offering nothing but my open palms.
Hope etched tight
into my knackered knuckles
and calloused digits.
Please... take them in yours...
soothe them...
grant me your touch, your coveted balm.
