# She's Not Who She Used To Be
*She looks in the mirror and likes what she sees*\
*It's obvious she's not who she used to be*\
*Thought she had her life found out by 14*\
*But isn't it easy to think that, it seems*\
*Thinking it's over just ain't quite her style*\
*"Running, I'm running" she said for a while*\
*Run from her problems, run from mistakes*\
*Run because she doesn't understand things*
*She's not a model, she's not a queen*\
*Stressed and depressed, she would look up and scream*\
*Running in circles, she said she was fine*\
*"It'll always be this way" she said with a sigh*\
*That's just who she is, and it won't ever change*\
*She felt like she'd always be looked at as strange*\
*Hiding her gender, hiding her heart*\
*Keeping it secret's the easiest part*
*"I'm fed up, I'm stuck, and I've had enough"*\
*She wanted a change, she knew it'd be tough*\
*She took a deep breath and decided to try*\
*She quit her job, outed herself, and then cried*\
*There's no point in trying to live a big lie*\
*There's no point in not even trying to try*\
*She talked to some friends and she knew what to do*\
*"I'll fight for myself, cus it's long overdue"*
*She looks in the mirror and likes what she sees*\
*It's obvious she's not who she used to be*\
*The sad, lonely teenager just wanting friends*\
*The stressed, upset college kid hiding her dread*\
*"I know I'm a girl, and I see it right now"*\
*Things line up neatly, and clearer, somehow*\
*That's my big story, that's who you see* \
*I'm glad that I'm not who I used to be*
