I Cant Sing

If you think you can buy what I feel, you are wrong. If you believe what I say are lies, beyond wrong you are. I'm real as real can be, you fool, dont you see? I'm a girl, of only sixteen. I still hold hands with my friends. Sleep overs have no end. I can not lie, because I want truth. I tell you what I really think, not what you think will soothe. What you want to hear, I cant say for sure. But I swear to you what I say is pure, no lies from these lips. Young and niave they say, They dont even remember the day. I am smart for a girl my age. But I cant explain on this page. What truth is, what trust will bring, For that is one thing I cant sing.
