lyrics

There’s this voice inside my head,
It’s telling me I shouldn’t say what I just said.
And there’s this feeling, it’s awfully small,
It’s telling me I shouldn’t be me really at all.

And then I feel so sad,
I didn’t know that I was that bad,
But maybe that voice was wrong,
Isn’t it true that I belong?

Chorus:
Hey, Mister Shame, oh yeah, I know your name,
We played this before and I know you keep score,
But, Mister Shame, I’m not playing your game,
No matter how far you go, to make me feel so low,
I know when I speak my truth I’m free and then,
You don’t have the power over me.

But there’s that voice, the one I dread,
It’s telling me I should’ve stayed at home in bed.
And there’s that feeling, t’s deep and low,
It’s telling me I shouln’t play another show.

And then I feel so blue.
How could I know I was s’posed to be you?
But maybe that voice was wrong.
After all, I’m the one that’s writing this song.

Chorus

But there’s that voice, I thought it was gone.
It’s telling me that this song is awfully long.
And there’s that feeling, it’s cold and tight,
It’s telling me I couln’t possibly do anything right.

And then I feel so mad.
How could I know I wasn’t s’posed to feel glad?
But maybe that voice was wrong.
After all, being me has been fun all along.

Chorus
