Who I Am

I'm that girl
The one you've seen around
My whole world,
My whole life, I’ve lived
I've never been found
I try to be part of the puzzle
But I’m so goddamn befuddled
Maybe you've noticed
But no one's noticed
Me
*You say my name like it
Doesn't mean anything
If anything,
My heart sinks
Assuming so much about what I'm really like
And although I'm perfectly nice,
I'm a freak, a geek, a nerd, I'm weak
Four-eyes, big on the outside, 'oh, I'm just fine'
None of these things are true
But that's who I am to you_
Spoiled rotten, one second
And too poor for words
The next
Lonely days until I go home
And none of you will know
What it means to be the lost girl
Can’t fit in to everyone else’s world
*You say my name like it
Doesn't mean anything
If anything,
My heart sinks
Assuming so much about what I'm really like
And although I'm perfectly nice,
I'm mean, I’m crass, I’m just a thing, going nowhere fast
No feelings, no ears, certainly no fears
None of these things are true
But that's who I am to you_
Under the surface,
Where I don’t belong
I’m just waiting for some friends
Is that so wrong?
And could all the lonely people
Gather here today
Could they feel what I’m feeling?
And could they say
*Honey,
Your name means something
Please don’t
Let your heart sink
We’ll never assume, you’ll show us
What you’re really like
And we’re sure you’re perfectly nice,
You’re not a freak, you’re not a geek
Not a nerd, you’re not weak
We understand your feelings, your fears
And we’ll wipe away your tears
Because none of those things are true
Oh, that’s not who you are to you_
