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
Moulding cheekbones, hope a new face could appear
I'll break and bend my spine
If it'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
Moulding cheekbones, hope a new face could appear
I'll break and bend my spine, if it'd make you say you're mine
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 it'd make you say you're mine
Could it make you say you're mine, it's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy
