Lyrics for Born a Girl
Do I look good for you tonight Will you accuse me as I hide Behind these layers of disguise In the mirrors of my own happiness I've loved the freedom of being inside Need a new start and a different time Something grows in the space Between me and it's twisting And changing this fragile body And I wish I had been born a girl Instead of what I am Yes I wish I had been born a girl And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man The censorship of my skin Is screaming inside and from within There's no room in this world for a girl like me No place around there where I fit in And I wish I had been born a girl Instead of what I am Yes I wish I had been born a girl And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man And not this mess of a man Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
