The Girl by Katie Seto

I’m not a different person
‘cause of anything you said
Might’ve hurt your pride
but that was never my intent
You don’t even know me
but you think you’ve got me pegged
But who I am ain’t tied
to your mercurial guessing at

The Girl stuck on a page
Just a book no one tries to read
The Girl who’s just a face, nothing more
Nothing to give, but you still take
No, I’m not some picture to frame
and I won’t be ashamed
of The Girl you tried to erase

Everywhere I go
someone is trying to speak for me
Put up on a pedestal
‘til it’s ripped out from underneath
Staring at the surface
no one looks too deep
First glance branding
I’m so sick of being

The Girl stuck on a page
Just a book no one tries to read
The Girl who’s just a face, nothing more
Nothing to give, but you still take
No, I’m not some picture to frame
and I won’t be ashamed
of The Girl you tried to erase

And there’s nothing that I could do
to be a real person to you
I’m just part of your scenery
A girl who’s always been

The Girl stuck on a page
Just a book no one tries to read
The Girl who’s just a face, nothing more
Nothing to give, but you still take
No, I’m not some picture to frame
and I won’t be ashamed
of The Girl you tried to erase
