I watch the still water
All the glistening coins
So much false hope...well here's my wish....

I wish I wasn't wishing anymore
How many is it now? I stopped keeping score.
I'm tired if throwing pennies in this stupid wishing well
I have to do something....
Here goes nothin...

Pretending a day is forever
Then watching you hurry away
It’s a game we play together
We are strangers in the light of day.
I’ve learned to lie with my eyes
To act like we never were lovers
When I am nobody you ever claim
We won’t walk in sunshine together.

The love of my life is a stranger
And this is the price I have paid
I smile when my heart is a wasteland
And, my life is a dance masquerade.
I’m dancing with a shadow
It looks so very real.
It moves with the rhythm
It does everything but feel.

I can only get so much reward
From rewriting each scene
From what it really was today
To what it might have been.
I am settling for a fantasy
Of what love is really about.
Picking up the scraps of dreams
That anyone else would throw out.

The love of my life is a stranger
And this is the price I have paid
I smile when my heart is a wasteland
And, my life is a dance masquerade.
I’m dancing with a shadow
It looks so very real.
It moves with the rhythm
It does everything but feel.

Trapped inside this place called home
Never allowed to wander alone
Four more years am I'm on my own
Can't you let me get a taste of the real world?

Hours and hours with nothing to do
Watch TV
Read a book or two
Same routine,
Day by day
Mommy, Daddy
When will you let me out to play?

Go out with friends
Have a smile
I promise I won't be gone a long while

Won't you have some faith
Have some trust
Know I won't do the things I must not
Your teachings are always playing in my head
So mommy,
Daddy
Can I go out with my friends?

Tired of playing the
"Best Friend Game"
Every time I try
I land flat on my face
Trying to fit in
Don't even need a high status
Just want a good person
Whom I can share all my secrets
Yet here I am
Once again
"Now don't you worry, you'll get another chance"
Yeah, that's happening
So here I go
Sitting alone
Looking at all the smiling faces in the room
Why is it so challenging
I can never understand the rules
Looks like this is another round
And you lose

I look back
To when it was you and me
But all
I see
Are broken memories

I gave you my heart
But you have empty hands
You were the key
To my happiness

My tears flow
Like the rain
Want them to go
Please go away

This pain I feel
Deep inside
Won't soon subside
You were my light
When it was dark outside
You were my hope
My fire
That needed to ignite

But you left me
Didn't even look me in the eyes
You never cared
That it hurt me when you lied
You made me believe that you loved me
When in real life
You didn't care
If I does
If I fell from a million feet
Would you be there to catch me?
I'm slowly crumbling
About to fall
But you don't care at all
Your just another boy
In your own world

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
