Me Right Side In

I wonder if there’s anyone

Like the girl I want to be

Who wonders what it’s like

To live her life like me

I bet her

Hands are warmer

I bet her

Intentions are true

But she will

Never love

The universe
In any precise similarities

She will never know it

In quite the same way,
That way I do.

She can travel

The world

And follow

In your wake

But she will always

She will always

Be your

Unresolved mistake

She flips her eyes

Like they’re mine

Wears my freckles

With pride,
Like they're really
Anything to look at
Like she's knows
Better ways in which
My features must catch light.

But do her words

Reach your heart?

Is she still me inside?

And when you look

Into her eyes

At night

Do they shine

The way mine did

For you

Underneath

Unrealistic reveries?

Underneath

The lamplight?

Are they even near

As bright?
When she speaks of
Places I find my passion,

Anywhere near

As bright?

She can’t reach you

And she knows, but

Can those lips

Of mine

Mask her spite?

I wonder if there's anyone

Like the girl you'd like to be

Who looks across the table

And finds a girl like me.

I’ve searched

And I thought

Maybe there were

Maybe there were

A few

But none were as good

None were as you as you.

So maybe there’s a me

Smarter, sweeter, stronger

But she will never

She will never

Understand why
Her "better than" me's
Aren't better.
Aren't me.
