You can try to blend in with the shades of grey
Or you can shine on the colour wheel
As your own true colours
Shining through the rain
Be Orange of colours
Sparkly diamond in the sky
Like a shooting star
(Like a shooting star)
You don't have to be like the fairy tales that you read
The lies and sugar coating
You don't need to be a princess
No need to be a queen
And a prince (and a prince charming)
Prince charming or a king
You don't need to kiss a frog to find your one and only
You don't need no labels
(No labels please)
They are just for a tin of beans
No gender norms
No following orders
Just learn to jump out of the box
Because life has a lot of hard knocks
Be full of surprise with your sparkly eyes
Standing out with your shine
Like a shooting star
Don't blend in with the others
Never seen as you are through their eyes anyway
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I shine for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I'll smile in deep
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile so free
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I shine for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I'll smile for me
You could wait around for Mrs.Right
You could wonder where she is tonight
Searching across the world
Across the galaxy
In another country
She could be wondering about you too
Never be seen as you are through another's eyes
They say never judge a book by it's cover
Unless you're novelist writer
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile for me
Smiling for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
(Mona Lisa)
I'll smile for me
(For me)
The canvas is waiting for me to paint a picture
Of my dreams
(My dreams)
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I still smile
(Smile)
Smile for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile for me
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I shine for me
Shine in my eyes
Painting a picture of my dreams
I'm singing out my tunes
They try to play on my heartstrings
But mine play a different tune
(Different tune)
Don't be afraid to love
Don't be afraid to cry
Don't be afraid to see the love in your eyes
Don't live in disguise
Don't read between the lies
Sugarcoating lies
I'm writing this song for you
To sing along
(Sing along)
You don't have to follow the TV styles
To blend in with the plastic
Barbie kinda life
(Barbie kinda life)
Don't count the numbers on your twitter
Social media
It will have you comparing yourself in the mirror
I'm no Mona Lisa
But I smile for me
