lyrics

Undoing changes I started making
when I decided who I am is not good enough for
presentation to the public in the face of secondary education
all along with its shortcomings, most of which I will admit
fell on the social side of things due to all my nervous thinking
and the way I oh so desperately want to be liked
while I hide shy
past is patterned people pleasing
failed to notice I was on the outside looking in
on an image of perfection
now glass is shattered and I walk home barefoot in the rain
just so I can talk to myself
and finally ask her what the hell it is shes really like
while I hide shy
and I will fail you just you see
no I am not what you want me to be like
no I hide shy
