[Verse 1]
I cried on your shoulder right there in the kitchen
Our friends in the next room, so close they could listen
And I don't know why (I don't know why)
I laugh when I cry
I'm not the girl that you thought you were getting
I'm way more complex, yeah I got them sharp edges
I'm solid as ice, oh (I'm solid as ice)
But I break all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I were a different girl
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?
Always keep it breezy
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy

[Chorus]
No, I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
An uphill battle
Ooh, ooh, an uphill battle
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
You say I act like it's my job to get so emotional
Hell, it's my business to get so emotional
About to lose it
Just below the surface, ooh yeah
Walking around with a knot in my stomach
Got you so high but we're ready to plummet
Going down, going down, going down, going down
Oh no

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I were a different girl
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?
Always keep it breezy
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy

[Chorus]
No, I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
An uphill battle
Ooh, ooh, an uphill battle
Ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I were a different girl
Yeah, it'd be simpler, that's for sure
But you know you wouldn't get the sparks from the clash
The high from the crash
The curse and the kiss, they will make this thing last

[Chorus]
No, I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
I'll be your solid ground
And I'll be your biggest gamble
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle, ooh
An uphill battle
An uphill battle, ooh
An uphill battle
