I spend too much time thinking about who I'msupposed to be
 
I play by [bad word] that don't seem right to me

I'm cool and polite, on the outside
 
When I get a chance, [bad word] and I hide
 
If your eyes are closed, it's hard to see
 

What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of whatmight happen
 
What if they turn away when I show them who I [bad word]  
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doorsopen
 
Or tonight, just tonight
 
What if I shine?
 

Should I even care?
 
They're all sitting there, and everyone's staring at me
 
If I step out in the spotlight, maybe I'll be set free
 

What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of whatmight happen
 
What if they turn away when I show them who I [bad word]  
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doorsopen
 
Or tonight, just tonight
 
What if I shine?
 

I..
 .
 shine...
 
I spend too much time thinking about who I'msupposed to be
 

But what if I sing out loud?
 
Because anything can happen
 
What if I stand up proud and I show them who I [bad word] 
 
They're gonna call my name and I'll throw these bigdoors open
 
'Cause tonight, just tonight
 
I'm gonna shine
 

I..
 . shine...
