I wanna be the girl that makes you smile on a bad day
the girl you can’t wait to see everyday
the girl that your mind leads to out of the blue
the girl that makes you happy
the girl you’d wait for in your whole  lifetime
the girl you can’t stand losing
the girl that you’ll never let go of
the girl you’ve painted your future with
the girl that would take your last name
the girl to mutter ‘I do’ on your wedding day
the girl that you’d love last
the girl you’d hold onto when your hair is gray
I just want to be
The girl I’ll never be.
