[Verse] They call me a pretty girl like it’s all I should want to hear But I have got myself a mirror and it was made crystal clear I could never be the vision that they paint so prettily with their words I look more like a puzzle of pieces that don’t want to quite correctly merge [Chorus] Wish I was the woman That you speak of so high Wish I could embody the gleam that is in your eye But I’m just the shadow of the girl that now lingers on behind Not the sexy little thing that you have stuck in your mind [Verse 2] You see all this perfection but all I can see is the cracks I paint on this pretty smile but it’s real armor that I lack Behind all the glitter and gloss there’s a heart that is beating so raw With Jehovah gods truth inside that you will never see or you will so quickly withdraw Chorus] Wish I was the woman That you speak of so high Wish I could embody the gleam that is in your eye But I’m just the shadow of the girl that now lingers on behind Not the sexy little thing that you have stuck in your mind [Verse] Your words are a script I have rehearsed that i am going to forget But they still echo inside my mind like some kind of a lingering debt I don’t need the exciting label that you’re handing to me I just need to find God's true beauty that will set my heart and my mind free [Chorus] Wish I was the woman That you speak of so high Wish I could embody the gleam that is in your eye But I’m just the shadow of the girl that now lingers on behind Not the sexy little thing that you have stuck in your mind Bridge] I wish I could be the dream that you can so easily create The woman that you praise the one that you so easily inflate But I’m just a shadow of what you think that you adore I am just a hollow echo behind a locked door Bridge 2] I hear their false whispers they do sweeten the night air But I cannot just pretend that I am blind and completely unaware The mirror shows scars That the world tries to deny I am just sick and tired of living in this time of borrowed lies Chorus] Wish I was the woman That you speak of so high Wish I could embody the gleam that is in your eye But I’m just the shadow of the girl that now lingers on behind Not the sexy little thing that you have stuck in your mind Outro] Wish I was the woman That you speak of so high Wish I could embody the gleam that is in your eye But I’m just the shadow of the girl that now lingers on behind Not the sexy little thing that you have stuck in your mind The mirror shows scars That the world tries to deny I am just sick and tired of living in this time of borrowed lies
