I wish I could write
Something no ones read before
I wish I could tell
A story no one's heard before
If I could be original
Maybe they would stay
If I could be brilliant
Maybe I would be okay
I wish I could sing
A song no one's heard before
I wish I could paint
Something they haven't seen before
If I could be original
Maybe they would stay
If I could be brilliant
Then I'd be okay
But I feel empty
Broken and beige
Nothing left to say
I just want to be loved
I wish I was pretty
Like girls in the magazine
Or maybe funny
Like comics on tv
I wish I was strong
Like athletes on the move
I wish I was brave
An astronaut on the moon
But I feel empty
Broken and beige
Nothing left to say
I just want to be loved
Is it enough the song I sing
Is it enough for me to be me
Is it possible they would love me
Just the way I am
I just want to be loved
