Metamorphosis

I've never had a decent answer to a single question

I don't say my opinions too loud

I'm always second-guessing

I can't take many chances

I just stick to what I'm best at

My personality, it lends to bad first impressions

What I'd give to give it all I've got

What I'd do to be something I'm not

Never planned to be so nonchalant

Now I'm stuck on autopilot

And sometimes I don't like myself

Can I be someone else?

Someone who makes their dreams come true

And drinks from wishing wells

Someone that they call lucky

And I never seem to fail

But sometimes I don't like myself

Can I be someone else?

What I'd give to give it all I've got

What I'd do to be something I'm not

Never planned to be so nonchalant

Now I'm stuck on autopilot

You didn't have the confidence

You couldn't see a way through it

But look at all the things you did

Look at your metamorphosis

Finally, you've found your gift

And now you're on a rocket ship

You're standing there on that stage

All because you had the faith

You're basking in the light of day

A resurrection from your grave

Like flowers in the breeze, you sway

But rooted in the dirt, you'll stay
