lyrics

I know you wanted more for me than this
But I give up everything
Just to be kissed
I know I say I wanna save the world
But really I just wanna be a girl

I wanna be saved
And to fall in love
And not have to work a day in my life

They told me I'd just have to make a home
And look pretty
And at the time that sounded nice

I can't help the dream that was sold to me
Peddled by some guy they call Walt Disney
And I know it ain't just a feminine thing
To compromise all you got just to wear a ring

We all wanna belong
And we all wanna trust
But most of us find that dream turns to rust

But maybe the girl
doesn't have to be got
And maybe boys don't have to be so much

So I know that's why you're making me sit here
To reckon with the choices that I've made over the years
And I promise I won't make them like that again
Just promise me that this will have an end

I'm not saying that
If he looks like he's gonna ruin my life
That I won't find him attractive

But I've got a choice
What to follow through on and who to let in
And how I will be treated

So can you hear me?
I'm only asking for a little bit of peace
The hurt, it's all around
And I'm working so hard not to drown
In the tears that are mine
Tired from swimming through others' all the time
