You can see me on a movie screen
Except I don't mix well with a social scene
And when I see you and all the things you do
All the words you know, wish I even had a clue
Speak up
Nobody's ever listening to you
Talk up
Somebody's bound to listen to you
You're running circles all around me
While I sit in your shadow waiting for some company
Someday you'll teach me the proper way to sing
And how to hold my own and tell the world just what I think
Speak up
Nobody's ever listening to you
Talk up
Somebody's bound to listen to you
You're not the black sheep
You're the needle-a in the hay
What a lonely tale you're weaving
So just be yourself
Just be yourself
I think of all the limelight just waiting for these eyes
Instead I sit here thinking 'bout how hard I never tried
It won't be long till all the honey's dry
And the sands of time have washed away my dreams in life
