Mari G - The List Lyrics

You once wrote a list
In desperation, you held it close
This list birthed before we first kissed
And terminated the future we had both

In it, you authored into existence
The perfect companion
In it, you created a distance
You tunneled a cannon

I can't compare to your dream girl
Because no one has ever dreamed of someone like me
I can't compare to your dream girl
Because I know my worth and now I'm set free

I crossed off a few requirements: song voice, curly hair
You made it seem that I didn't need any more acquirements
But that you didn't like who I was? I was unaware
So you and that list went to explore elsewhere

In it, you authored into existence
The perfect companion
In it, you created a distance
You tunneled a cannon

I can't compare to your dream girl
Because no one has ever dreamed of someone like me
I can't compare to your dream girl
Because I know my worth and now I'm set free

I opened up my heart, just to have us fall apart
Now I feel at war, knowing that there is love galore

I can't compare to your dream girl
Because no one has ever dreamed of someone like me
I can't compare to your dream girl
Because I know my worth and now I'm set free
