Lyrics[]
Never ever have I been someone who's had it all
Like, not at all
And on occasion I can think too much
I get uncomfortable
Hide behind my walls
And I talk in circles but at least
I say what I mean
And I rock my heart on the sleeve of my T-shirt
So if I should die tomorrow
I'll die with all of me, all of me
And if I give back the time that I've borrowed
I'll know I gave everything, everything
And no you won't, no you won't
Forget, forget me, no
No you won't, no you won't
Forget this girl next door
Never have I ever met someone who worries like I do
But that's nothing new
And I don't really like to get dressed up
But what's it to you?
I know what I can do
And I'm not Bowie, Prince or Queen
But at least I do what I dream
And I rock my soul on both sleeves of my T-shirt
So if I should die tomorrow
I'll die with all of me, all of me
And if I give back the time that I've borrowed
I'll know I gave everything, everything
And no you won't, no you won't
Forget, forget me, no
No you won't, no you won't
Forget this girl next door
I may not be a genius
I'm just a girl with some reasons to stay plain Jane
But I won't go 'till you hear me
I'll make sure not to leave before you know my name
