It's Me

It's Me

I cry to sleep

Almost every night

In my heart

I feel something's not right

To you I say

Whomever you are

Carry me away

Some place very far

I have not found you

Although I've tried

Now I give up

My heart has died

My heart's been broken

Too many times before

Now only my kids

I shall forever adore

I see that I'm ugly

I know that I'm fat

But I also know

There's more to me than that

I'm a very good person

And a damn good friend

So it's not what you look like

That counts in the end

I really don't care 

If you don't agree

It's your loss, not mine

If that's not what you see
