i used to hate myself
but i realized how selfish that was
i know what it feels like to have nothing
but have everything
everything but electricity
so my family doesn't have lights
but we keep the 40 or so inch t.v

i go to church
and feel unworthy
i don't know why people like me
i just realized
i beg for attention

even now
talking about me
it's getting kind of tiring

i want to make a difference
but the one thing that stops me
the fact that everybody seems to watch me
the spotlight seems to make me a living target
even my friend started to make fun of me
because of the solos people give me
and it's not my fault
if i could choose
i would only sing at fundraisers
so i'm not getting credit
but i'm not gonna feel bad for my responsibility
so get over it
people expect less of me then i can give
or more than i can offer
so maybe there's a balance

yes i hate the spotlight
no nobody knows
not even my friends or family
know how hi my vocal range goes
because thats not the point

and i know only like 10 people will see this
but i don't wanna seem like this is for the saying
"God bless"
