You tell all the boys "No"

Makes you feel good, yeah.

I know you're out of my league

But that won't scare me away, oh, no

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm capable of falling in love again. At 23, I still find myself having a hard time trusting men. I can name a handful of factors but then again, it will still boil down to the resounding truth that I've put up very strong and thick walls around me because of them. Walls...walls that are nearly impossible to climb or to break down, for that matter.

You've carried on so long,

You couldn't stop if you tried it.

You've built your wall so high

That no one could climb it,

But I'm gonna try

More often than not too, I wonder if there will be that guy who will actually try. I've had suitors, admirers and the likes and most of them tried...although "trying" does not equate to "consistently, persistently and actually trying". I'm soooo freakin' good at pushing away people and I'm the most stubborn person on earth. Being an independent woman for the longest time, I've had the mindset that I'm the only person who can help myself. This is the reason why trying is not enough for me. You've gotta consistently, persistently and actually try. 

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?

Would you let me see beneath your perfect?

Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl

I wanna see inside

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

I know I'm not a hard person to love.  Based on my past experience (I only had one), I can say that for that person who will be able to break down the wall, it'll be worth it. I give and I give and I give. That's how I am. So maybe, I'm a good catch, yeah? I'm just one difficult fish to catch.

You let all the girls go

Makes you feel good, don't it?

Behind your Broadway show

I heard a boy say, "Please, don't hurt me"

You've carried on so long

You couldn't stop if you tried it.

You've built your wall so high

That no one could climb it,

But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?

Would you let me see beneath your perfect?

Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy

I wanna see inside

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?

See beneath, see beneath,

I...

Tonight

I...

I still pray. I want to have that man in my life. I just wish that he can find me soon. Really soon. Maybe he can unfuck my fucked up life.

I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower

I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out

We'll be falling, falling but that's OK

'Cause I'll be right here

I just wanna know

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?

Would you let me see beneath your perfect?

Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl (take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy)

'Cause I wanna see inside

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, oh, oh, tonight?

See beneath your beautiful, oh, tonight.

We ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no.

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
