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 (Book on the shelf)
Tired of stories for somebody else (Somebody else)
Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter
I've been looking for some way to turn it around (Turn it around)
Looking for someone to give me the crown (Give me the crown)
And I wanna feel like I finally matter
** I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah The kinda 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 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 (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby)
Ah-ah (The kind of 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)
