I'm starting to love me I'm realizing what I need You know I'll always love you, honey But am I really your priority? You know I hate to be the center of attention But I'm not feeling loved Forgive me for speaking up, but I need to be comforted for once A few kind words and a kiss on the head isn't gonna hold me over for months Like it used to I wanna be the girl, the girl in my dreams She gets what she wants, not defined by her teens I wanna speak my mind, I wanna not be afraid of what you will say Why am I so worried about hurting you when I'm hurting too? Do you think I'm overthinking? 'Cuz I don't think you're really thinking You know I appreciate you trying But I can't help but feel you're lying You know I hate to be the center of attention But I'm not feeling loved Forgive me for speaking up, but I need to be comforted for once A few kind words and a kiss on the head isn't gonna hold me over for months Like it used to I wanna be the girl, the girl in my dreams She gets what she wants, not defined by her teens I wanna speak my mind, I wanna not be afraid of what you will say Why am I so worried about hurting you when I'm hurting too? I know what I need, and I don't need somebody to tell me That I'm not thinking correctly Because I know how I feel I know how I feel You know I hate to be the center of attention But I'm not feeling loved Forgive me for speaking up, but I need to be comforted for once A few kind words and a kiss on the head isn't gonna hold me over for months Like it used to I wanna be the girl, the girl in my dreams She gets what she wants, not defined by her teens I wanna speak my mind, I wanna not be afraid of what you will say Why am I so worried about hurting you when I'm hurting too?
