Paint me over please,
Skinny and blond
With eyes like the sea

Make me a cheerleader,
An American girl
Make me anyone
Create a pearl

I know I'm a monster,
A freak and a dork
Don't tell me I'm not
Nothing you say will work

I want to be perfect
And have glamorous friends

I don't want to feel small,
Alone or afraid
But these feelings seem to come back
Day after day

Everything I do, and
Everything I day
Counts against me
In some strange way

I'm tired and sick
Of the label
I'm given
But I don't quite know
How to break out of this
So called heaven

I want to scream
There's no sense
To this dream
How would they act
If I showed up green?

Who cares what they think?
My life is not theirs to control
