White Dress

[Verse 1:]
I used to be tryna be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned being on picket fences
I'm not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
So quit denying, yesterday is dying.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me.

[Chorus:]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm embracing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud.

[Verse 2:]
Close your eyes
Why don't you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but it's not about you
This is mine so don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
Don't need against you, you don't have to be you.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me.

[Chorus:]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud.

[Bridge:]
I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be.

[Chorus:]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud.
