Daydream

I remember when
Times were easy then
I never thought that I'd be here
Looking at a picture of myself
Like a book left on a shelf
Never read properly

Sitting at the table next to all the other girls
Talking 'bout my future like it's something I deserve
I don't wanna be that girl again

I see myself on TV, but that's not how you start
Pretending all my sketches are a work of art
I'm learning I should never test the depth of the water with both feet

So go on hate me
The way God made me is too much for you
Too much for you
Too much for you
I've been waiting
Time is taking away too much from me
Too much from me
Is it too much to ask, for more than just a daydream?

I've always been the girl
Standing at the front of the risers
Singing at the top of my lungs
Spring concert, eight years old
More than that school gym could hold
I know that I can be a lot
But I would rather be a lot than someone that I'm not
& I am not somebody who would hold their voice inside
& never really try and hide away when someone made me cry

& In my darkest moments, I've had me to hold my hand
Mama taught me well how to be my own best friend
I don't wanna lose that girl again
No!

So go on hate me
The way God made me is too much for you
Too much for you
Too much for you
I've been waiting
Time is taking away too much from me
Too much from me
Is it too much to ask, for more than just a daydream?

So go on hate me
The way God made me is too much for you
Too much for you
Too much for you
I've been waiting
Time is taking away too much from me
Too much from me
Is it too much to ask, for more than just a daydream?
