I used to be tryna be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned being on picket fences
Im not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
So quit denying, yesterday is dying

Ill never be, Ill never be
All of the things that you need me to be
Youll never see, youll never see
That version of me

Im not the girl in the white dress
Im not your fairytale princess
Im sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day youll know the reason why
Im not the girl in the white dress
Im impressing my darkness
Im really sorry that I let you down
But Im still gonna make you proud

Close your eyes
Why dont you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but its not about you
This is mine so dont treat me like Im a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
Dont need against you, you dont have to be you

Youll never see, youll never see
That version of me

Im not the girl in the white dress
Im not your fairytale princess
Im sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day youll know the reason why
Im not the girl in the white dress
Im impressing my darkness
Im really sorry that I let you down
But Im still gonna make you proud

Ill never be, Ill never be
All of the things that you need me to be

Im not the girl in the white dress
Im not your fairytale princess
Im sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day youll know the reason why
Im not the girl in the white dress
Im impressing my darkness
Im really sorry that I let you down
But Im still gonna make you proud
