Lyrics

You can call me pretty
I wont tell anyone you did
You can say I'm lovely
As difficult as it may be to admit

You can call me pretty
I wont make it mean a thing
Get over trying to people please
And relish the freedom looking bad can bring

I just want you to love me
Yes I need you to love me now
Come on show me some love

You can be nice to me
I wont take advantage of your heart
We can live life freely
Open up to risk and being who we truly are love

I just wanna believe in me
Yes I need to believe in me
I just wanna believe in me
Yes I need to believe in me
And I wanna be free

Because Im never enough and Im always alone
I'm far from my happiness far from my home
I'm scared of my life and I've planned my cremation
I seek out in others my own validation
I'm still not a grown up I'm scared of the truth and times running out in my winter of youth
I dont trust my choices but I know that I can if only you'd love me the way that I am
I need someone to love me unconditionally and wont it be something when that person's me

Maybe when the dust has cleared Ill be
Happy living alone
Satisfied with myself
When the fighting's really over I'll be
Committed to my success and be proud of myself
Maybe if you'd just love me
Maybe if you'd believe in me
Life with you could be so....
Good
