I'm a caged bird
You're all coloured fancy, fantasy
But I'm a dreamer
Just wondering what it would be, to be free

They all know my name but they don't know it's jaded
What if I'm not all they say?

If I were a lover
Do you think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Would pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
That it's not all it seems, living up to me

You're the joy
That I can't seem to run from, run from
And I'm sorry
If I can't be someone you thought I was

'Cause they all know my name but they don't know I'm jaded
What if I'm not all they say?

If I were a lover
Do you think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Would pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
That it's not all it seems, living up to me
Ooo oh

And I'm not tryna be the girl
That has the world lay at her feet
All I see is the concrete
And that's all I need

I were a lover
Think that I'd be loved?
If I were a painter
Pictures be enough?
If I were the first man on the moon
Would I make it back to earth too soon?
They say believe, they don't see
It's not all it seems
They say believe, they don't see
That I don't wanna be living up to me
