Chapter3 Words I Never Said

I still remember that classroom back then Those days that scared me now and again I couldn't smile right, couldn't find the words So I kept hiding everything that hurt I was happy but I played it cold I just wanted to get closer, truth be told Why couldn't I be kind back on that day Why did I let those chances slip away The words I couldn't say back then, back there Are the ones that made me into who I am here Sitting right next to you my heart would race I'd look away and lie straight to your face Trying hard felt scary, felt uncool I thought giving everything made me a fool All I cared about was how I'd look to them I threw away what I truly wanted then If I could've smiled for real on that day Would something have turned out a different way? But that weakness, still the same as it was then Is still a part of me right now and again The feelings I kept hidden on that day Are the ones holding me up along the way I used to sing out loud without a care Not knowing that they laughed behind me there The day I found out I turned down my sound I shrunk the voice I loved, I shrunk myself down The me from back then wasn't wrong at all I was living, clumsy through it all The words I couldn't say back then, back there Are the ones that made me into who I am here It's okay even if your voice is small Just sing again, that's all it takes, that's all That song of yours will surely reach someone's heart
