My name is Mandy Vinson and I am a small town girl songwriter. I have been writing songs since I was younger, but started getting serious with it about 4 years ago. Writing has always been a passion. I also have a blog page lifeinspiredmommy.com.

You don't know me
You have no clue
You don't know me
You don't know what I've been through
You can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
You don't know me
But I'm different
You don't know me
But yet you pick
You can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
You don't know me
But yet you judge me
You don't know me
But yet you push and shove me
So, you can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
One thing I have over you
Is I've learned from what I've been through
You can always pick on me
But I'm stronger than you'll ever be
Verse 1:
That deep meaningful look
From your eyes is all it took
To have me wrapped around your finger
And held captive by all the splendor
I never would have known
Because your love felt so strong
I guess your love was just a monet
It was only perfect from far away
Chorus:
I was blind
To your lies
How could I be so nieve
To believe that you loved me
Such a fool
To think you'd ever be true
You fooled me once, fooled me twice
So shame on me
Verse 2:
I should have known from that first time
I saw you staring when she walked by
What looked to be an innocent glance
Turned out to be a long term romance
All those times in stayed up to wait
Because you said you were working late
Turns out that wasn't really a lie
I hope she paid you for over time
Chorus×1
Verse 3:
Now I think I've learned for sure
Don't trust the next like the one before
He might have a perfect smile
But not be perfect for the end of the isle
Chorus ×1
You dreamed you were a mermaid
But in real life you were just like everyone else
You always felt that you were different
So you spent alot of your time all by yourself
Oh Marina, you felt so alone
Oh Marina, you weren't on your own
Everyone said you wouldnt make it
So you did tlwhat you could to make it through
The the day came when you couldnt take it
So you did what you thought you had to do
Oh Marina, you felt so alone
Oh Marina, you weren't on your own
You dreamed you were a mermaid
In the water you thought you could breathe
All the doubters cried saying they loved you
But the ones who truly did you left to grieve
Oh Marina, you felt so alone
But oh Marina, you weren't on your own
You don't know me
You have no clue
You don't know me
You don't know what I've been through
You can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
You don't know me
But I'm different
You don't know me
But yet you pick
You can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
You don't know me
But yet you judge me
You don't know me
But yet you push and shove me
So, you can say I have an ugly face
You can say that I'm a waste of space
You can do all of those mean things
But you don't know my pain
One thing I have over you

Verse 1:
I'm so tired of the fake friends
and love that comes and goes
it's a cycle that never ends
and the stress is starting to show
I've held on for so long
Thinking one day it will work
But I come back to the same song
and this old raggedy shirt
Chorus:
It's time to clean out my closet
Let go of the past
if it's not in my present
It's not going to last
Letting go of what could be
and letting go of what was
I'm cleaning out my closet
Because it's no longer enough
Verse 2:
I'll hold on to the good times
But it's time for a change
I'm taking back what was mine
My hearts no longer a game
I won't give up the best of me
The worst is off to the store
Maybe for someone whose meant to be
It'll be worth so much more
Chorus:
It's time to clean out my closet
Let go of the past
if it's not in my present
It's not going to last
Letting go of what could be
and letting go of what was
I'm cleaning out my closet
Because it's no longer enough
Bridge:
It's time to move on, move on, move on
Stop letting it hold me back
I need to stop holding on, holding on, holding on
The trash bags are getting packed
Chorus:
It's time to clean out my closet
Let go of the past
if it's not in my present
It's not going to last
Letting go of what could be
and letting go of what was
I'm cleaning out my closet
Because it's no longer enough
