Lyrics
Born A Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do I look good for you tonight
Will you accuse me as I hide
Behind these layers of disguise
In the mirrors of my own happiness
I've loved the freedom of being inside
Need a new start and a different time
Something grows in the space
Between me and it's twisting
And changing this fragile body
And I wish I had been born a girl
Instead of what I am
Yes I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man
The censorship of my skin
Is screaming inside
And from within
There's no room in this world for a girl like me
No place around there where I fit in
And I wish I had been born a girl
Instead of what I am
Yes I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man
