About Me

This is not a love song
This is not about how I'm sorry I lost you
This is about me
This is about trying to figure out who that is.

So you preferred her
Don’t you worry; I’m a girl with no regrets
Yeah, I was sad at first
But now this is the only verse you’ll get.

Yeah I’ve been sobbing for the past, but no more
Not today, not tomorrow not a second time of sorrow.

So I will live my life
Not for the man that could be by my side
But for me
For the women that someday I’ll be
No more “what if’s” because they don’t exist
And now I know this is the life I’m meant to lead.

Some say when you’re happy
Reality is better than your dreams
Well I used to be a dreamer
But know I’m back on earth
Testing that theory that some people say

Broken hearted, sadness, feeling alone
I have experienced them all
Being loved, happiness, support
That’s what I’m ready to fall

Yeah I’ve been sobbing for the past, but no more
Not today, not tomorrow not a second time of sorrow

So I will live my life
Not for the man that could be by my side
But for me
For the women that someday I’ll be
No more “what if’s” because they don’t exist
And now I know this is the life I’m meant to lead.

So world,
Meet the new me.
