Everyone has got a secret side
A winding path up to a door that's open wide
You think you know me but
I'm changin' all the time

Perhaps you didn't notice me
I'm invisible, I can't be seen
Maybe I'm just not like everyone
I fade a little more each day

 

You stand apart
Alone you are
Working on your masterpiece
They laugh, they stare
No one would dare
Invite you to hang out with them

I feel they're looking down on me
Or am I paranoid?
No where to hide, no room to breathe...
I'm like a flower in the shade
I'm like a bird in a cage...

You see the kid who just tagged along
Too young to know what was going on
Wouldn't give me the time of day
Well, little sister grew up and hey, don't you see
I think I need for you to take me seriously

Waited all my life for this moment
Waited all my life for you to come
And at night, my dreams, I thought I saw you
Could it really be that your the one?

I rise to greet the day
Despite the monsters underneath my bed
I grab a pen and count to ten
And spill the contents of my head

As we are chasing after romance
Some will lose and some will win
Will you really be my sweetheart?
Or will we walk away as friends?
