I'm just standing here
Don't point and stare
Because even if I don't act like it
I do care

There are people everywhere
I can try
But I can't avoid them
It's a fact I can't deny

And yet, why do I always try?
To just let go
And rid myself of my insecurities
Oh, no.....

I want to (really I do)
Not possible
But I'm always the first to say,
Nothing is impossible

If you really try
But I have (really I have) and nothing helps
I can't escape, something's always holding me back
No matter how hard I plead or yelp

I can't get out
I'm stuck inside my turtle shell
On my back with no way out
No one can hear me yell

Because I can't
I've never been one to let it all out
I keep it all locked up inside
Even when I want to shout

I can't and I won't
It's the only thing I've ever known
So forgive me when I say,
*Leave me alone
