Can’t Say I Can
Thursday, July 27th, 2006What if I can’t be what you want me to be
Am I to blame for being who I meant to be?
What if all your hopes and dreams are lies
Would you finally realize what’s real?
What if time is an illusion of hope
And what’s left are abandonment and failures
Would you learn to rely on yourself this time?
Or would I be to blame for all that’s left
Is it wrong to open your eyes to the reality
And reach for the dreams that are approachable
Is it sinful to destroy your blind faith
And finally reveal what’s inside of me?
Why can’t happiness be genuine
Free from all distractful superficials?
What I feel are real, there’s no made up laughter
Or cries, or smiles, for that matter
Will you accept me for who I am
And not for someone you’d dream of?
Will you open up your arms
And embrace a simple, little, ordinary girl.
