There are some who don't even need to try Born with a warm heart, a twinkle in their eye Glitter in their words, perfume in their breaths Souls of sunshine and lilac pastel skies You will find no such shimmering in here Oh, there's a wish for some that's shoveled down by fear Am I happy or just hopeful? Confident or boastful? Do people smile holding back a sneer? Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all So off you go, perform your social dance Outstretched opinions and a flexible stance Pirouette for show but never let them know That really, you're just begging for a chance Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all Can someone please tell me how it feels To say the perfect words, a model of appeal Should I spill secrets inside or should I just hide? I'll never be okay to reveal Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all
