I thought maybe , maybe if I were blonde or red-haired maybe if I were taller or shorter maybe if I were more German or more Latin maybe if I were funnier or cooler maybe if I loved you more or less maybe if I talked more or less maybe if I came closer to you or stayed further away maybe if I had lived in this country longer or not as long maybe if I wore more revealing clothes or covered myself more maybe if I were more like those girls or less like those girls then maybe you would love me then I thought of something else if I became all those things I would become less myself and if I were less myself would the person you loved still be me?
