lyrics:
i’ve always played the part of Shakespeare
i hide behind the ink and pen
i build up worlds and choose a 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
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 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

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
