lyrics

I can’t tell you my dreams, dear
It only brings me down
You wouldn’t know what it means, dear
To sway a cynical crowd

I'm done falling apart
When you no longer ask
About my silly old heart
And cling to the past

But you won’t see me crying in the rain
I’m gonna give myself a name
It’s not too late to make the best of me

But I won’t tell you my dreams, dear
It always brings me down
You wouldn’t know what it means, dear
To sway a cynical crowd

And I won’t sing you my songs, dear
You used to hear them well
But now they fall on the wrong ears
You’re just too tough to sell

I know I ask a lot
But songs are all I’ve got in this world
To reach another soul
Seems a noble goal to a foolish girl

So I’m back at the start
Trying to find a voice
Trying to put it in art
I don’t have a choice

And you won’t see me turning back in shame
I’m gonna give myself a name
I hope someday you can be proud of me
