Who I Was, Who I Am, Who I want to Be

You make I'm perfect
But you got it all wrong
See you're all super blind
As a matter of fact I'm messed with how I feel
I wish it would change
The way I feel inside
I wish it would all go away
These feelings I constantly have to hide

I always hear, "You'll make it through"
But I don't know what good that'll do
I wish we could fix me up
Like a teddy bear that needs to be stuffed
But I know I'll make it through the rough

I hate having a hard time in school
I feel stupid when kids make rude comments
So I ask my big sister
To help me understand
My sisters are the best
My parents are real nice
My grandparents love me to death
Even whe n I'm on thin ice

I always hear, "You'll make it through"
But I don't know what good that'll do
I wish we could fix me up
Like a teddy bear that needs to be stuffed
But I know I'll make it through the rough

Sixth grade was great
It was all coming around
But then all of a sudden
My life turned upside down
My cousin was rushed to the hospital
For a series of brain tumors
If I would have known this would be the last time I'd see her
I would have done something to stop the rumors

Picture you walkin' my shoes
Picture you barely makin' it through
Picture you walkin' these ways
Picture you not makin' the days

I am doing well now
My cousin would be proud
If only she were here
This song would make her laugh out loud

I always hear, "You'll make it through"
But I don't know what good that'll do
I wish we could fix me up
Like a teddy bear that needs to be stuffed
But I know I"ll make it through the rough

I'm gonna sin and dance
And act as well
You wanna know my dream
I'm gonna tell
It has stunning performances
And belongs in New York
You'll be seeing my name in lights
I'm gonna be on Broadway

I always hear, "You'll make it through"
But I don't know what good that'll do
I wish we could fix me up
Like a teddy bear that needs to be stuffed
But now that I look back
I know I've made it through the rough
