Look at me, tell me what you see
No longer a child, a girl who longs to be free
Thanks to my past, things look different through my eyes
i no longer see the sun, only clouds in my skies
Don't get me wrong, there was a time full of joy & laughter
But reality set into my life, not long after
This innocent heart of mine, was not broken but cut
Now i feel i out of place, like a stray mutt
Friends, family, and strangers say i have a trust issue
i just laugh for i know I'll never need at tissue
You'll never see these eyes shed a tear
You seeing weakness in me is what I fear
Don't waste your time on someone like me
There's no part of my life where you're meant to be
My life has no room for you to stay
Don't be surprised when i push away
I hope you can see it's for your own good
I'd be your Juliet, i really would
But this would be in a world without boundaries, without regret and fear
In a world where trust isn't an issue, where love didn't end with a tear
I can't risk living in this world once more
I've lost almost all hope, but i still have some in store
For if you were to take a deeper look, beneath the bitterness and convincing lies
You'd find a girl who dreams beyond boundaries of all kinds
Because of her dreams, people call her picky
For her dreams to come true, she has to be
I have one life to live and will live it how i want to
I'll have my happy ending with or without you
I won't change my life or me to fit someone else's way
This is me, if you don't like it, get out of my way
