Amélia
Kleenex Girl Wonder Lyrics

I know you see me when you're out on the street
I am aware of your presence and attention towards me when we pass each other outside in public.

You make me feel like I just can't compete
Your actions and behavior towards me have instilled a sense of inferiority and inadequacy in me.

You say you're trying but it's hard to believe
Although you claim to make an effort towards something, I find it difficult to trust or accept that statement as true.

Have you ever believed in me?
I am questioning whether or not you have ever had faith in me or my abilities.

I take a walk, I take a second to breathe
In an attempt to calm down and clear my mind, I go for a walk and try to relax for a moment.

Any minute I'll be on my knees
I feel like I am getting closer and closer to breaking down emotionally.

Cause it's a full time job to be free
Freedom comes with responsibilities and a lot of hard work in order to maintain that state of mind or existence.

But with everything that you see
Despite my efforts, you have witnessed everything that has gone wrong with me.

What do you want from me?
I am curious and confused about your intentions and expectations from me.

I can't take recidivism
I cannot continue to repeat mistakes or fall back into previous negative patterns of behavior.

So hit me with some criticism
I am open to constructive feedback to help me improve myself and my situation.

Look at a rainbow through a prism
It is possible to see a rainbow's true colors and beauty by observing it through a prism or different perspective.

All you see is light
By looking at things in a positive or different light, one can achieve a better outlook and understanding.

Cause I need an animation
