[Verse 1]
             
I wanna be a b

oy,
              
Or, at least t

             
hat’s what I t


hink this feel

ing is,
         
Take red pen t

o my paper,
              
Correct mistak

              
es God somehow

  
 did.


[Verse 2]
              
I wanna befrie

    
nd bugs,
              
Climb tall tre

             
es, scrap my k


nees,

And show I am 

tough,
     
Only cry in th

e night time,
              
My bed is the 

            
thing I can tr

ust.



[Chorus]

Cause I’ve gro

wn sick of sta

ring,

Hours in the m

irror,

Moulding cheekbones,

Hope a new fac

e could appear

,
             
I’ll break and

         
 bend my spine

,
              
If it’d make y

              
ou say “you’re

 
 mine”,

It’s so unfair!
              
I guess I wann

       
a be a boy.


[Interlude]

    

    



[Verse 3]
              
I wanna be a b


oy,
              
Take up space 

       
when I sit,

I don’t need m

anners, they’r

e shit,
       
Rip my nails, 

cut my hair,
              
'Cause maybe t

              
hen you’d fina

     
lly care.


[Verse 4]
              
Why can’t I ju

         
st be a boy,
              
Be the thing t

          
hat gives you,

Butterflies,
        
Whisper that I

 make you smil

e,
              
Could we prete

              
nd that’s me f

     
or a while?



[Chorus]

Cause I’ve gro

wn sick of sta

ring,

Hours in the m

irror,

Moulding cheek

bones,

Hope a new fac

e could appear

,
             
I’ll break and

         
 bend my spine

,
              
If it’d make y

              
ou say “you’re


 mine,

You’re mine,
       
You’re mine”,


[Interlude]

    

    
    
  



[Outro]
            
I wanna be a b

oy,
              
Or at least be

      
 in a body,

You could love,
    
I’d break and 

bend my spine,

If it’d make you say “You’re mine”,
         
Could it make 

you say “You’r

e mine?”,

It’s so unfair,
              
I guess I wann

       
a be a boy.
