Текст Lola — 21

they tell her from a young age
that beauty is looks and she believes them and tries her very best
her innocence they took
she starts to wear makeup and wear clothes she thinks they’ll like

but nobody told her she has a pretty great person inside
no one said you’re capable and loving
you’re kind and you’re smart
you got passion in your eyes
and you got beauty in your smile
and you’re a work of art

it took me 21 years
to see it this clear
that their story is wrong
and its not worth the tears
i am worth something
and im done acting
how many times that i never loved

the person in the mirror
but thats who i was
i am so much more
and i finally surrendered the war
she finally gets to high school
she doesn’t look like they do
shes not outgoing

she writes these songs alone in her room
and she finally gets to college and
thinks boys will be so different there
but shes disappointed by the way they talk and they stare
pretty soon she hardly eats at all
shes sick every day
puking in the bathroom stall
and she wants to get better
cause she knows shes not who she sees in the mirror

it took me 21 years
to see it this clear
that their story is wrong
and its not worth the tears
im worth something
and im done acting
how many times

i didn’t love the person in the mirror
but thats who i was
i am so much more
and i finally surrendered the war
it all got too heavy
and i wasn’t healthy
i was weak to the bones
till i couldn’t do this no more
and i thought about love

i gave to everyone else
and im trying to convince myself
i deserve love as well
it took me 21 years
to see it this clear
that their story is wrong
and it’s not worth the tears
i am worth something

and im done acting
and how many times i never loved the person in the mirror
but thats who i was
i am so much more
and i finally surrendered the war
