I Wanna Be a Boy

I wanna be a boy
Or at least that's what I think this feeling is

Take red pen to my paper
Correct mistakes
God somehow did

I wanna befriend bugs
Climb tall trees
Scrape my knees
And show I am tough
Only cry in the nighttime
My bed is the thing I can trust

'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror
Molding cheekbones
Hope a new face could appear

I'll break and bend my spine
If I'd make you say you're mine
It's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy

I wanna be a boy
Take up space when I sit
I don't need manners
They're shit!

Rip my nails
Cut my hair
'Cause maybe then you'd finally care

Why can't I just be a boy?
Be the thing that gives you butterflies
Whisper that I make you smile
Could we pretend that's me for a while?

'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror
Molding cheekbones
Hope a new face could appear

I'll break and bend my spine
If I'd make you say you're mine
It's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy

You're mine
You're mine

I wanna be a boy
Or at least be in a body you could love

I'll break and bend my spine
If I'd make you say you're mine
Could I make you say you're mine?
It's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy
