VERSE 1
My mind is filled
With so many fears.
I am so shy all the time
Wish I could disappear.
There’s been so many potential friendships
I’ve pushed aside
Cuz ‘stead of letting people in,
I’ve chosen to run and hide.
I’ve been worrying far too long
‘Bout everything I’ve done wrong.
But the past is in the past.
Why should I fret? It’s time to forget my regret.

PRE-CHORUS
What I’ve done in the past shouldn’t define who I am now.
I have changed.
Now I see
A different me.
There’s no way I’m gonna stay the same today
As I was before.
That’s for sure.
The mistakes I’ve made, the price I’ve paid,
That won’t matter anymore.
I know if I try, I can change my ways.
Someday.
Oh, that someday, I’m gonna be able to say that

CHORUS
I’m not scared.
My fears have disappeared.
I haven’t felt this great in years.
I don’t know why it was so hard
At the start.
But at last, I’ve broken free.
And now when I look in the mirror, finally,
That scared little shy girl, that run and hide girl
That I always used to see,
That’s no longer me.
No longer.
No longer.
No longer, can’t take it no longer.

VERSE 2
I’ve finally realized 
How stupid I’ve been
To not be comfortable 
In my own skin.
Why can’t I get past the embarrassment
That I’ve spent time creating for myself?
I’ve gotta be loud and crazy,
Put the what ifs and maybes 
On the shelf.
Cuz living this quiet and boring life 
Isn’t very advantageous.
I’ve gotta learn to be courageous.
Life’s too short, and I’ve
Been letting mine go to waste
With every word I’ve left unspoken
And every time I’ve hidden my face.
I think about it
And I feel disgrace.

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

VERSE 3
I’ve woken up.
The real me has come to stay.
The mistakes I’ve made in the past 
Have merely served to pave the way
To what is right, to what I need
To do to be the best I can be.
The world is on my side.
And I’m filled with so much pride
When I think of what I’ve accomplished.
Life is better than I could have wished.
Because I woke up today.
And finally, I’m able to say that

CHORUS
