[LYRICS]
[VERSE 1]
Do i look good for you tonight
Will you accuse me as i hide
Behind these layers of disguise
In the mirrors of my own happiness
[VERSE 2]
I've loved the freedom of being inside
Need a new start and a different time
Something grow in the space between me
And it's twisting and changing this fragile body
[CHORUS]
And i wish i had been born a girl
Instead of what i am
Yes i wish i had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man
An not this mess of a man
[VERSE 3]
The censorship of my skin is 
Screaming inside and from within
There's no room in this world For 
A girl like me no place around there where i fit in
REPEAT CHORUS
