Born a Girl

The censorship of my skin
Behind these layers of disguise
I've loved the freedom of being inside
Yes, I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man

Yes, I wish I had been born a girl
And it's twisting and changing this fragile body
Is screaming inside and from within
And not this mess of a man
Instead of what I am
And not this mess of a man
There's no room in this world for a girl like me
And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man
Instead of what I am

And not this mess of a man
Something grows in the space between me
And I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man

No place around there where I fit in
In the mirrors of my own happiness?
And I wish I had been born a girl
Need a new start and a different time
