I Wanna Be a Boy

I wanna be a boy

Or at least that's what I think this feeling is

Take red pen to my paper

Correct mistakes

God somehow did

I wanna befriend bugs

Climb tall trees

Scrape my knees

And show I am tough

Only cry in the nighttime

My bed is the thing I can trust

'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror

Molding cheekbones

Hope a new face could appear

I'll break and bend my spine

If I'd make you say you're mine

It's so unfair

I guess I wanna be a boy

I wanna be a boy

Take up space when I sit

I don't need manners

They're shit!

Rip my nails

Cut my hair

'Cause maybe then you'd finally care

Why can't I just be a boy?

Be the thing that gives you butterflies

Whisper that I make you smile

Could we pretend that's me for a while?

'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror

Molding cheekbones

Hope a new face could appear

I'll break and bend my spine

If I'd make you say you're mine

It's so unfair

I guess I wanna be a boy

You're mine

You're mine

I wanna be a boy

Or at least be in a body you could love

I'll break and bend my spine

If I'd make you say you're mine

Could I make you say you're mine?

It's so unfair

I guess I wanna be a boy
