Not That

She'd been telling me about them princesses
Beautiful as anything
Sitting in the castle
Waiting for true loves kiss to bring
Her to life

She'd been telling me about them brave knights
Doing anything they can
To save the girl
Put her on a horse then they ran
Away from them

I wished aloud I could be like that
Pretty, Brave, Strong, and Proud
She told me I was and I always would be
But in my head, a voice screaming loud

You are not that. And you never will be.
Just a small town girl. Why can't you see?
You are not that. Get over that dream.
Just a tiny thread in a great big seam.
You wish you could. Wanna stop layin flat.
But no. You are not that.

She'd been telling me about them popstars
Singing to their hearts desire.
Rockin n rollin
Songs made to inspire
Young fans

She'd been telling me about them actors
Talent and the looks and brains
Gots them people people watching out for them
Their umbrella when it rains

I wished aloud I could be like that
Inspiring and hott
She told me I was and always would be
But in my head, a voice screaming out

You are not that. And you never will be
Just a small town girl. Why can't you see?
You are not that. Get over that dream.
Just a tiny thread in a great big seam.
You wish you could. Wanna stop layin flat.
But no. You are not that.

Storybooks and fairytales
Only make you want it more.
In your hopes, a big wide world
Is knocking at your door
A whole new world
Just waiting for you
Tell your head to stop
But it doesn't want to.
And it says

You are not that, And you never will be
Just a small town girl. Why can't you see?
You are not that. Get over that dream.
Just a tiny thread in a great big seam.
You wish you could. Wanna stop layin flat
But no. you are not that.
