mona lisa

I've always played the part of Shakespeare

I hide behind the ink and pen

I build up worlds and choose a savior

I write beginning, middle, end

I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf

Tired of stories for somebody else

Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter

I've been looking for some way to turn it around

Looking for someone to give me the crown

I wanna feel like I finally matter

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

The kinda girl that you can dream of

And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

So is there anybody out there

Who can change my point of view?

The way that Van Gogh uses yellow

Or the self in Frida Kahlo

I could be that for you

I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf

Tired of stories for somebody else

Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter

I've been looking for some way to turn it around

Looking for someone to give me the crown

I wanna feel like I finally matter

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

The kinda girl that you can dream of

And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

I think I'm ready for my close up, baby

There's nothing left to do

And nothing left to lose

Let me be your muse

And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa
