A Girl Like Me

by RainHidesTearsNotRedFaces

She has been in the same clothes all week
But he puts his arm around her waist
Her nails are coloured with jiffy pen
But he still wants her lips to taste

She got kicked out of home and school
But there's nothing that he would prefer
Her hair is messy, the colour has faded
But he still sees the beauty in her

She only speaks words of hate and anger
But he listens to what she has to say
She's difficult to deal with, hard to understand
But he still waits with patience each day

She doesn't care about peoples judgments
But he knows that she cares about his
She's in love with the feeling he gives her
He's in love with everything she is

She's a tease, a flirt and can make him smile
Even though he's manically depressed
She's a perfect example of what not to be
No worries, because he's still obsessed

She didn't think he could handle her
But he proved her wrong, you see
He showed her he can handle a girl like that
Because he can handle a girl like me
