when we met
I was always myself
never questioning reason
never questioning wealth
I knew who I was
who I wanted to be
never thought different
never questioning "me"
but your smile meant more
than myself worth and love
I kept questioning "me"
I just wanted your love
hair changed color
too many a time to count
nails were lacquered
music taste was squelched
rock wasn't welcome
you wanted class
video games were jokes
I was suppose to be more grown up than that
art was messy
too dirty for you
cleaned up my act
wanted to be part of your crew
my jokes weren't funny
too sarcastic and brash
you wanted me to smile
stand by your side silenced
my clothing was too relaxed
too loose and too shrug
I had to dress up
if I wanted your love
but then I wasn't me
and thats what you'd say
you wanted me to change
but wanted me to stay the same
you loved the girl
who was dirty and brash
not the clean sophisticate
you had changed me to since
you loved my paintings
the love and self worth
said I wasn't the girl
you had wanted since birth
but I'd changed just for you
made me who you wanted me to be
but never once did I stop
and question this dream
you told me over and over
you did and you didn't
want me to be me
want me to be different
now your leaving this girl
who changed just for you
she wasn't herself
she'd lost her own tune
