Hiding in the limelight
Can't see the view
Every single crowd
I'm searching for you
Everybody sees me
Nobody stares
Foraging to find a friendlier face
St. John couldn't look
More out of place
Oh you don't want to be here
No one's making you stay
Well I thought I didn't want
Somebody like me
But you don't even know
The language I speak
Thought I'd like to see life differently
But you can't see me
I wish I didn't care
That I'm not more beautiful
Wish I didn't need you
To think I'm wonderful
Wish I didn't need my life
To be so magical
Wish a thicker skin could
Make me powerful
Wish that I believed
The best was ahead of me
Wish that I could still
Tell you everything
Wish that I was younger
Thinner, braver, better, brighter
Wish that you would let me
Be your lover not a fighter
Tell them all the truth
Regret every word
The more that I said
The less that you heard
Sorry sweetheart
Square peg round hole
Look I know it's a lot
To handle me
Hate that I lead
From insecurity
Would that I could
Change it easily
'Cause you can't see me
I wish I didn't care
That I'm not more beautiful
Wish I didn't need you
To think I'm wonderful
Wish I didn't need my life
To be so magical
Wish a thicker skin could
Make me powerful
Wish that I believed
The best was ahead of me
Wish that I could still
Tell you everything
Wish that I was younger
Thinner, braver, better, brighter
Wish that you would let me
Be your lover not a fighter
Everybody loves me
No nobody likes me
Everybody needs me
No nobody wants me
Everybody loves me
No nobody likes me
Everybody needs me
No nobody wants me
I wish I didn't care
That I'm not more beautiful
Wish I didn't need you
To think I'm wonderful
Wish I didn't need my life
To be so magical
Wish a thicker skin would
Make me powerful
Wish that I believed
The best was ahead of me
Wish that I could still
Tell you everything
Wish that I was smarter
Taller, braver, better, bolder
Wish I wasn't terrified
Of getting older
Wish that I was younger
Thinner, braver, better, brighter
Wish that you would let me
Be your lover not a fighter
