Each night I fall asleep and I wake up in the wings
I’ve forgotten all my lines or I’ve forgotten how to sing
I’m 20 minutes late or I just can’t find the door
The clothes that I’m wearing don’t fit me anymore
(Oh) The voices in my head are getting loud
(Oh) I try to find your eyes amongst the crowd
(Oh) I’ve always been a little bit dramatic
I just hope you’re okay with it
I’m standing centre stage but the spotlight’s pointing left
There’s only darkness for my sequins to reflect
No kisses from my mom or dad no flowers at my door
Who will I be if I don’t wanna stand on this stage anymore?
(Oh) The voices in my head are getting loud
(Oh) I try to find your eyes amongst the crowd
(Oh) I’ve always been a little bit dramatic
I just hope you’re okay with it
The curtain closes and it all fades to black
But I don’t hear any applause
If there’s no one there to listen am I even really singing?
(Oh) The voices in my head are getting loud
(Oh) I try to find your eyes amongst the crowd
(Oh) I’ve always been a little bit dramatic
I’m a recovering theatre kid
I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to tell everyone you know about me
(I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to like me, like me)
I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to tell everyone you know about me
(I just want you to like me, like me
I just want you to like me, like me)
Yeah
