heartsong

they say you should write about what you know
well, here's what i know
me, always wanting to live in a fairytale
and you, always saying it ain't so
and i'm not saying you're wrong
but maybe i don't always want to be strong
maybe i don't want to be strong
*
and i know the earth is round
and i know that my feet belong on the ground
but sometimes i wish i could fly
or be a star up in the sky
because my heart just wants to be loved
oh, my heart just wants to belong
*
they say that one plus one is always two
but sometimes i get three
because with me,
what you get is more than what you see
and i don't always follow the rules
but to myself i will always be true
yes, to my soul i will be true
*
four tattoos and a belly ring
fixing the punctures in my heart
and purple is the color
of my soul, my sky, my skin
so call me a dreamer, a rebel, a poet
because i'll always write 'bout
what's inside my head
and i'll always be true to my heart
*
and i know the earth is round
and i know that my feet belong on the ground
but sometimes i wish i could fly
or be a star up in the sky
because my heart just wants to be loved
oh, my heart just wants to belong
*
…don't always want to be strong
no, my heart just wants to be loved
my heart just wants to belong
