What if...



If i had brown eyes instead of blue
Would all this around me still be true
If i wasnt a blonde or, just a little taller
Would the hurt in my heart be any smaller?
Life keeps going and i stay the same
But what would be different if i changed my
name?
You dont even know me inside how i feel
Cuz i dont even know me, inside how i feel
If only i could change ther size of my feet
Maybe inside i would feel complete.
If i could just grow my nails a little longer
Would my weary heart be any stronger?
Guess all that i feel summed up in a thought
I wish my self esteem could be bought
Pick and choose from each on the rack
I'll take that one, on the right in the back
If i could have picked who I wanted to be
I garuntee you that it would not have been me.
