All of these dreams in my head Keep spinning round, I'm grabbing my paper and pencil To pin em down I'll sketch my world as a prettier place And draw myself with a smily face And make this picture perfect
But all of these lines on my page Won't mean anything Until I learn to erase The one's that I don't need I'm covering up the stupid mistakes and Starting over and over again To make this picture perfect
I'll start with where I'm standing now And begin shaping where I want to be No one can tear my picture down Because it's me And as long as I'm still proud of This self portrait I'm creating - I'm doing fine I'm doing fine
Every now and again, someone comes along They try to box me into a corner I've drawn Pushing the walls down, struggling free Makes me strong So I can keep making this picture perfect
I'll start with where I'm standing now And begin shaping where I want to be No one can tear my picture down Because it's me And as long as I'm still proud of this self portrait I'm creating I'm doing fine I'm doing fine
What I'm sketching doesn't have to be Anything fancy no I'm just shaping stronger sides of me, of me, of me
I'll start with where I'm standing now And begin shaping where I want to be No one can tear my picture down Because it's me And as long as I'm still proud of this self portrait I'm creating I'm doing fine, I'm doing fine, I am doing fine, I'm doing fine...
