Pretty Little Burden

I don't wanna be a pretty little burden
A pretty little heart that's set apart for hurtin'
Another girl that almost perfect, almost great, and you're almost certain
She could be....if only..you could look past what makes her me

Love...is...appreciating not tolerating
It's not living without not learning to live with
It's a soul bending experience, not a mind boggling experiment
I'm not a pretty little burden
No...I'm not a pretty little burden

I'm worth my weight in diamonds don't you understand
But I'm sorry that I'm colorful that's just the way I am
But if color makes my price less and you don't view me as priceless
Then i'll gladly fold this losing round and draw another hand

Love...is...more than what you prayed for not a settlement with God
It's less like a narrative and more like a monologue
It's that nobody does it better, not the best one by default
I'm not a pretty little burden
No..i'm no one's pretty little burden

Love me for...don't love me despite
I am your future not your best prototype

I could be what dreams are made of
If you finding me is how your dreams...portray love

Love...is wondering how you got her, not wondering how you got here
It's laughing with me not at me not breaching my security
But fighting insecurities

How could you love me, if first you don't love me.
