The Woman I Love

The woman I love goes to a crowd set out for a cause
While I go to a crowd that laughs
The woman I love is independent 
While I like to question if others like me
The woman I love loves to learn
While I watch cartoons
The woman I love practices self-control,
While I eat way too much

She'll never be me...
From my perspective
She wouldn't want to be me...
From my perspective...
I look at your reflection in the mirror
"Darling, you're glowing"
I count your blemishes
"Darling, you're growing"

The woman I love sticks to a budget 
While I say "fuck it" 
The woman I love has gorgeous hair without even trying
While I slap on my unwashed beenie
The woman I love keeps to herself
While I ask for the latest gossip
The woman I love makes people laugh
While I don't know what to say

She'll never be me...
From my perspective
She wouldn't want to be me...
From my perspective...
I look at your reflection in the mirror
"Darling, you're glowing"
I count your blemishes
"Darling, you're growing"

The woman I love is a tower of strength
While I am afraid that I am in everyone's way
The woman I love has this cute smile when she's happy
While I hide my joy inside a journal
The woman I love knows many things and is confidant
While I am questioning my core and am desperate
The woman I love is intoxicating 
While I would rather fade away...
     Fade away
          ... fade away
                ... fade away
                    .... fade away

She'll never be me...
      Just my perspective

She wouldn't want to be with me...
        Just my perspective...

You look at my reflection in the mirror
"Darling, you're marvelous"
You count my successes
"Darling, you're marvelous"

                                And I'll tell her I love me.
