I can’t be the perfect child, but I’m not here to play bad
Don’t ask me why I’m just being me—it’s all I’ve ever had
Words that seem just right feel as hollow as clichés
So don’t just nod along, I see through anyway
If being happy means just staying by your side
Well, that’s one thing, and this is another, right?
If you call that selfish, then tell me, don’t you see?
The world could be simpler, just like that, for me
I’m happy to feel your love
I’m happy to feel your care
But I can’t stay just knowing it’s there
I’ve got no words to say, no songs to sing
I’ve grown past childish dreams
I’m happy to feel your love, but I don’t know how to smile
If you’ve got a dream, won’t you show me for a while?
I don’t want to be the same as everyone, but I hate being alone
Don’t ask me why I’m just being me—it’s all I’ve ever known
Even if I hide, I know you’ll see right through
So don’t fake a smile, I’m counting on you
Hey, if there’s a place no one’s ever found
Let’s go searching side by side
When we’re there, I wouldn’t mind
Laughing just one more time
I’m happy to feel your love
I’m happy to feel your care
But I can’t stay just knowing it’s there
I’ve got no words to say, no songs to sing
I’ve grown past childish dreams
I’m happy to feel your love, but I don’t know how to smile
If you’ve got a dream, won’t you show me for a while?
