I've maintained a spirited personality
While trying to distance myself from others
Believing that my path is meant for one
I keep pushing people away
Destroying my ties to the future
For a chance to see where this lonesome road takes me
Discovering what kind of person I am
What kind of person I was to everyone
I keep losing myself in the limelight
Believing if I always do something spectacular
I would always be noticed
I want to fit in with people
I want to make as many friends as possible
So that I don't have to be by myself anymore

I want to have someone by my side
I don't want to keep making the same mistake
And push people away from me
I want to have someone here for me
So that I won't have to endure so much pain
All by myself
*I want people to notice who I really am
See what the real me does
Not see this character that
Dances in front of them
Just for their amusement
I want someone to tell me
I don't have to wear this mask
And accept me for who I really am
