All The Pretty Girls

🎵 All The Pretty Girls I’m not funny, not charming — just different. They call me a nerd, I wear it like armor. I get driven, I get obsessive, I stay. Loyal to a fault, I don’t walk away. Maybe they saw something I missed. Maybe I was too raw, too real. What made them leave is what I keep. I won’t hide what I feel. All the pretty girls who said no to me — Maybe they were right, maybe they were right. I’ll take my time, I’ll learn to be. I’m not needy, I’m not soft, I stand. I believe in my work, I believe in my hands. I’ve got a mind that won’t apologize. I won’t shrink to fit your lines. Maybe they knew something I didn’t. Maybe I was too much to hold. What they couldn’t carry I keep close. I won’t leave it cold. All the pretty girls who said no to me — Maybe they were right, maybe they were right. I’ll take my time, I’ll learn to be. Not built for sprints, my body’s thin. My mind runs farther than my skin. I was made for distance, not the race. I keep my pace, I keep my place. Maybe you see what I can’t yet see. Maybe you’re the first one who stayed. I talk about who I am, not who I’ll be. You asked the question I never made. I built these walls brick by brick. I learned to be proud of every stone. Then you came and I almost cracked. Now I want to let you in, not alone. All the pretty girls who said no to me — Maybe they were right, maybe they were right. But if this pretty girl says yes to me — I won’t promise easy, I’ll promise me. I’m in it for the long haul, I won’t quit. I don’t know how to promise easy. So if you say yes, I’ll give you me.
