i am now the girl with a a window tattoo
on the back of her neck, all art and colors
i am someone you would stare at waiting in line
and maybe wonder if i was interesting
it's funny how easy it is to change the outside
pretend you are bold and defiant
wear black and combat boots to show you don't care
but now matter how dark you make your eyeliner
when you get around those who know you
you remember that inside you're still weak and scared
Miami girls are all so beautiful
i step out into the real world, and i see it all around me
the heels, the skinny jeans, the low cut tanks
straight hair,lip gloss
it's really just an ideal
you don't have to have the right features
it just has to be close enough to the model so that you disappear
but me, with my window tattoo and my long hippie skirts
i stick out like a sore thumb
check out that chick, all my guy friends will say
definitely fuckable
and i'll turn my head and see another plastic copy
and pretend i wish it was me rocking those heels
pushing to the front of every line
making boys heads turn to stare
i could probably assimilate if i wanted to
i am pretty in a typical way
i could dress and wear my hair the same as everyone else
i could be a bitch, loud and out there
but at the same time, i think part of the reason i don't
is the fear that i may fail
and if i gave up everything to be a miami girl
and somehow i still didn't cut it
i really don't know what i could do with the leftovers
so for now i guess i'll stick to me
even though it's hard being quiet and invisible
when everything on the outside screams that you are interesting
i've got the cure for you
