Stephanie Smith - Self Portrait Lyrics

All of these dreams in my head keep spinning round
I'm grabbing my paper and pencil to pin 'em down
I'll sketch my world as a prettier place
Draw myself with a smiley face
And make this picture perfect

But all of these lines on my page won't mean anything
Until I learn to erase the ones that I don't need
I'm covering up the stupid mistakes
Starting over and over again
To make this picture perfect

I'll start with where I'm standing now
And begin shaping where I want to be
No one can tear my picture down
Because it's me
And as long as I'm still proud
Of this self portrait I'm creating
I'm doing fine

Every now and again someone comes along
They try to box me into a corner I've drawn
But pushing the walls down and struggling free
Makes me strong so I can keep making this picture perfect
(chorus)

What I'm sketching doesn't have to be
Anything fancy
I'm just sketching stronger sides of me
