mona lisa (slowed)

i’ve always played the part for Shakespeare

i hide behind the ink and pen

i build up worlds and choose a savoir

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 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

so is ther anybody out there

who can 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
