lyrics
Back when I was younger, I really loved to draw
I tried to replicate the images I saw
Inside my head but I just couldn't get my visions to the page
The proportions were all wrong so as I aged
I realized that I was never good at art one bit
Looking at the princess supposed to be elegant
The gowns and crowns were gaudy and simply didn't look right
Not to mention faces with unconvincing eyes
They told me "You can be anything"
But then I realized I can't figure out how
'Cause you can be anything you want except someone else
How does everybody else already know
To control the facial muscles and the voice's tone
They don't have to draw, they just take a photograph
It comes so naturally to them, what is it I don't have?
Everything I do is forced although I am sincere
Blame it on anxiety, I'm paralyzed by fear
I try to make expressions like we're all supposed to do
But they're as unrealistic as the faces I once drew
All thousand words held in my picture were translated wrong
I guess that's what happens when they're badly drawn
I tried to fold my face into a smile or a frown
But in the end I just crumpled it up and tossed it to the ground
So I tried to draw a tear or a sneer or some sympathy
But my hands were shaking, better erase these scribbles off of me
I tried and tried but it's still no good
Which is why I can never be what I still wish I could
