white dress

Halestorm

I used to pray, tried to be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned beyond picket fences
I m not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
Sick of denying, yesterday is dying

I ll never be, I ll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You ll never see, you ll never see
That version of me

I m not the girl in the white dress
I m not your fairytale princess
I m sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you ll know the reason why
I m not the girl in the white dress
I m embracing my darkness
I m really sorry that I let you down
But I m still gonna make you proud

Close your eyes, why don t you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but it s not about you
This is mine, so don t treat me like I m a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
I don t hold it against you, you re allowed to be you

You ll never see, you ll never see
That version of me

I m not the girl in the white dress
I m not your fairytale princess
I m sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you ll know the reason why
I m not the girl in the white dress
I m embracing my darkness
I m really sorry that I let you down
But I m still gonna make you proud

I ll never be, I ll never be
All of the things that you need me to be

I m not the girl in the white dress
I m not your fairytale princess
I m sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you ll know the reason why
I m not the girl in the white dress
I m embracing my darkness
I m really sorry that I let you down
But I m still gonna make you proud
