I'll sing in the showers, in the backyard, outdoors, in my house,
You'll hear my voice
wherever you go, 
My family always tried
to shut my mouth.

I'll be talking so loud and sharing stories to my family and friends,
I'll sometimes cut them off but I'll always apologize in the end.

My mouth brings only trouble,
The truth I speak, hurts,
The lies I have told, burns,
That voice, it was nothing special, others were golden.

They told me I couldn't sing,
It was like hell and shattered glass,
They told me I couldn't be what I wanted to be,
Everything I learned was utter trash.

All my efforts are for people who threw it, tore it, and broke it.
All my efforts had gone to waste and were for nothing.

Sure, I can't sing notes
or melodies right,
I didn't like studying, my future wasn't bright,
All I know for sure, I have a
good heart,
I'm selfless, always smiling like an idiot, who's inside tearing apart.
