Lyrics

mona lisa

I've always played the part of Shakespeare
I hide behind the ink and pen
I build up worlds and choose a savior (savior, savior)
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 some way 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, ah-ah
The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah
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 could 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 (think I'm ready, baby)
I've been looking for some way 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, ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby)
The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah (the kinda girl that you can dream of maybe)
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 (ah-ah)
Ah-ah, I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby, ah-ah
Ah-ah, 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 (ah-ah-ah) ah-ah
