Lyrics Stephanie Smith - Self Portrait

All of these dreams in my head
Keep spinning round,
I'm grabbing my paper and pencil
To pin em down
I'll sketch my world as a prettier place
And draw myself with a smily face
And make this picture perfect

But all of these lines on my page
Won't mean anything
Until I learn to erase
The one's that I don't need
I'm covering up the stupid mistakes and
Starting over and over again
To make this picture perfect

I'll start with where I'm standing now
And begin shaping where I want to be
No one can tear my picture down
Because it's me
And as long as I'm still proud of
This self portrait I'm creating -
I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine

Every now and again, someone comes along
They try to box me into a corner I've drawn
Pushing the walls down, struggling free
Makes me strong
So I can keep making this picture perfect

I'll start with where I'm standing now
And begin shaping where I want to be
No one can tear my picture down
Because it's me
And as long as I'm still proud of this self portrait I'm creating
I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine

What I'm sketching doesn't have to be
Anything fancy no
I'm just shaping stronger sides of me, of me, of me

I'll start with where I'm standing now
And begin shaping where I want to be
No one can tear my picture down
Because it's me
And as long as I'm still proud of this self portrait I'm creating
I'm doing fine,
I'm doing fine,
I am doing fine,
I'm doing fine...
