I′ve always played the part of Shakespeare

I hide behind the ink and pen

I build up worlds and choose a savior (savior, savior)I write beginning, middle, end

I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf

Tired of stories for somebody else

Think that I′m ready to start a new chapter

I've been looking for some way to turn it around

Looking for someone to give me the crown

I wanna feel like I finally matter

I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah

The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah

And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

So is there anybody out there

Who could change my point of view?

The way that Van Gogh uses yellow or the self in Frida Kahlo

I could be that for you

I′m so tired of being a book on the shelf

Tired of stories for somebody else

Think that I′m ready to start a new chapter (think I'm ready, baby)

I′ve been looking for some way to turn it around

Looking for someone to give me the crown

I wanna feel like I finally matter

I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby)

The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah (the kinda girl that you can dream of maybe)

And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa

I think I′m ready for my close-up, baby

There's nothing left to do, and nothing left to lose

Let me be your muse (ah-ah)

Ah-ah, I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby, ah-ah

Ah-ah, the kinda girl that you can dream of

And I always had the words, but I don′t wanna say it

Wish I could paint a smile on my face

I wanna be a Mona Lisa (ah-ah-ah) ah-ah
