I've always played the part for Shakespeare
I hide behind the ink and pen
I build up worlds and choose a savoir
I write beginning, middle, end
I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf
Tired of stories for somebody else
Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter
I've been looking for someway to turn it around
Looking for someone to give me the crown
I wanna feel like I finally matter
I wanna be a Mona Lisa
The kinda girl that you can dream of
And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
I wanna be a Mona Lisa
So is there anybody out there
Who can change my point of view
The way that Van Gogh uses yellow
Or the self in Frida Kahlo
I could be that for you
I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf
Tired of stories for somebody else
Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter
I've been looking for someway to turn it around
Looking for someone to give me the crown
I wanna feel like I finally matter
I wanna be a Mona Lisa
The kinda girl that you can dream of
And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
I wanna be a Mona Lisa
I think I'm ready for my close up, baby
There's nothing left to do
And nothing left to lose
Let me be your muse
And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
I wanna be a Mona Lisa
