Shaking Heart in my throat I can't see straight anymore Too many people Too loud Too much pressure What if I mess up? It could happen Would they laugh? Overheating in my short dress Starting to shiver at the same time Been practicing for weeks on end But what if I am wrong? What if I do it wrong? Drawing a blank What was I supposed to do? Standing in front Lights on me Waiting for my cue Waiting One Two Three And THERE Start playing Shaking gets worse I can't remember the notes I don't know what I'm doing It's done now There is applause I swear I'm seeing stars Breathe in Breathe out Take a bow Keep going

Stage Fright
Shaking Heart in my throat I can't see straight anymore Too many people Too loud Too much pressure What if I mess up? It could happen Would they laugh? Overheating in my short dress Starting to shiver at the same time Been practicing for weeks on end But what if I am wrong? What if I do it wrong? Drawing a blank What was I supposed to do? Standing in front Lights on me Waiting for my cue Waiting One Two Three And THERE Start playing Shaking gets worse I can't remember the notes I don't know what I'm doing It's done now There is applause I swear I'm seeing stars Breathe in Breathe out Take a bow Keep going
