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 I’m not afraid about where I fit into the frame Satisfied to drive in my own lane So quit denying yesterday is dying I’ll never be I’ll never be All of the things that you need me to be You’ll never see you’ll never see That version of me I’m not the girl in the white dress I’m not your fairytale princess I’m sorry mama that I made you cry Someday you’ll know the reason why I’m not the girl in the white dress I’m embracing my darkness I’m really sorry that I let you down But I’m still gonna make you proud So close your eyes Why don’t you try to keep an open mind? I hope you know how hard I really tried It might be a hard truth but it’s not about you This is mine so don’t treat me like I’m a crime My life my lesson learned in time I don’t hold it against you you don’t have to be you But you’ll never see you’ll never see That version of me I’m not the girl in the white dress I’m not your fairytale princess I’m sorry mama that I made you cry Someday you’ll know the reason why I’m not the girl in the white dress I’m embracing my darkness I’m really sorry that I let you down But I’m still gonna make you proud Oh oh oh oh x4 I’ll never be I’ll never be All of the things that you need me to be I’m not the girl in the white dress (no) I’m not your fairytale princess (princess) I’m sorry mama that I made you cry (made you cry) Someday you’ll know the reason why (reason why) I’m not the girl in the white dress (white dress) I’m embracing my darkness (darkness) I’m really sorry that I let you down But I’m still gonna make you proud Oh oh oh oh x4
