You Choose Me

All of my life I’ve been told

I’m not one of those pretty girls

The ones in the movies

The ones with perfect hair

You tell me your favorite

Is when I’ve got no makeup on

In your shirt and sweats

Just laying in your arms

I don’t get it

But you choose me

For your team

Every time

I can’t believe

You choose me

You choose

Your team

You choose

Me

Always the one left standing

Waving my arms in the air

Crying out “won’t someone just pick me?”

And their sticks and stones

Broke my bones

Words cut like a knife

But you kiss my scars

Baby your love’s healing me

But you choose me

For your team

Every time

I can’t believe

You choose me

You choose

Your team

You choose

Me
