Exaggerated
If anyone asked, I would tell themBut nobody cameI waited so long to speakBut nobody listenedI'm still waiting to be opened up like a bottleBut my mouth continues to be shutNobody cares for the quiet ones in the crowdI had to cause a scene
Like singing at the top of my voicePretending everywhere is my stageWearing my finest clothes, acting gratefulRemembering to act cool for the cameras
You can say I'm exaggeratedI only do it because I'm scaredIf I stood like a statueWould anyone notice me?I'm scared of being forgottenSo I'll be dramaticHow can I be graceful when I'm so anxiousDoes the world still listen to silence?Unless I'm on fireHow can you have something to talk aboutHow can I entertain you?
When I was 18, at my school promI stood there like a flunkyI cried and sworeThat everyone would see meThere's too many ordinary paths in this worldWhich block do you live in again?I've been ignored in relationship and in workI have no dignity left
Yes, I crave attentionYou would understand if you hadn't had any eitherI'll act clumsy and make big mistakesIs it wrong to be an attention whore?
You can say I'm exaggeratedI only do it because I'm scaredIf I stood like a statueWould anyone notice me?I'm scared of being forgottenSo I act dramaticHow can I be graceful when I'm so anxiousDoes the world still listen to silence?Unless I'm on fireYou'd have nothing to talk aboutHow can I entertain you?
There aren't many lucky onesYou'd understand me if you're not oneI've tried so hard to stand outHow can the ordinary ones be as controversial as me?
Keep saying I'm exaggeratedBoo me if you want, I don't mindIf my shows were awkward and boringWould you still come see them?Is it good enough?I can water flowers with my tearsAll I wanted was to surprise youDid you not know I existed before?So I give it allTill my veins are showingTell me, do I exist now?
Look at me, stop staring at the ceiling
I may not be your cup of tea, but drink all you want
Don't forget there is someone screaming for you
