I always wanted to believe
That my heart was beautiful
As if my truth was suitable
To be accepted instead of rejected
Not the facade but the real me
It's enough to be everything
And she can make me shine
more brightly than I ever had
A place where my heart belonged
I tried to be something else
It took so long to become
strong enough to be weak,
I've never been quite sure who hears
they don't sell this at the store
than the lies in my mirror
and for once, see clearer
in this dream of blurred faces
I always wanted to believe
that my heart was beautiful
I am standing in the waves
as they try to wash me away
the voices of reason speak
but I don't hear what they say
