Alice Wu - Built for You Lyrics

Skin as light as pearls
Hair like honeyed silk
Your royal eyes shine in the blue blue sky
In dance with angels delight
Your palette in hue of the beach
Sunset among shattered shells
You were born here, it's not fair
Why am I not there as well
This world was built for you
They all fell for you
The man who said he loves me
Will always love you more
And I'll dress like you
Dye my hair for you
But in their eyes, I'll never be you
Skin like snow in moonlight
Glitters pure and light
In the tapestry of night your radiance so bright
Amongst the stars, I stand alone
Basking in your shadow
Barely seen never heard
An unreachable realm, unattainable glow
As the ocean, hidden with gloom
This world was built for you
They all fell for you
The man who said he loved me
Will always love you more
And I'll break myself
Slowly drain my shell
But something I say or do makes me never belong
What do you have that I don't
Is there a secret I just don't know
To be perfect, oh so worth it
God do I hate being me
Nothing can help me
No one can save me
Unless you change
Everything you see
And I'll cry to sleep
Wake up not wanting to breathe
Yet it's you that I see
