Exaggerated
If anyone asked, I would tell them
But nobody came
I waited so long to speak
But nobody listened
I'm still waiting to be opened up like a bottle
But my mouth continues to be shut
Nobody cares for the quiet ones in the crowd
I had to cause a scene
Like singing at the top of my voice
Pretending everywhere is my stage
Wearing my finest clothes, acting grateful
Remembering to act cool for the cameras
You can say I'm exaggerated
I only do it because I'm scared
If I stood like a statue
Would anyone notice me?
I'm scared of being forgotten
So I'll be dramatic
How can I be graceful when I'm so anxious
Does the world still listen to silence?
Unless I'm on fire
How can you have something to talk about
How can I entertain you?
When I was 18, at my school prom
I stood there like a flunky
I cried and swore
That everyone would see me
There's too many ordinary paths in this world
Which block do you live in again?
I've been ignored in relationship and in work
I have no dignity left
Yes, I crave attention
You would understand if you hadn't had any either
I'll act clumsy and make big mistakes
Is it wrong to be an attention whore?
You can say I'm exaggerated
I only do it because I'm scared
If I stood like a statue
Would anyone notice me?
I'm scared of being forgotten
So I act dramatic
How can I be graceful when I'm so anxious
Does the world still listen to silence?
Unless I'm on fire
You'd have nothing to talk about
How can I entertain you?
There aren't many lucky ones
You'd understand me if you're not one
I've tried so hard to stand out
How can the ordinary ones be as controversial as me?
Keep saying I'm exaggerated
Boo me if you want, I don't mind
If my shows were awkward and boring
Would you still come see them?
Is it good enough?
I can water flowers with my tears
All I wanted was to surprise you
Did you not know I existed before?
So I give it all
Till my veins are showing
Tell 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
