Here's a little pop song for all you kiddies out there...
lyrics
WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK
I know what you want to say, But I’m gonna live this my own way
I’m the only one who can decide
I’ll cover up, wear a disguise, keep it all behind these eyes
And I will not let anyone inside
Isn’t life about right now?Well I don’t really care just how,
But show me something I have never done
Everyone I know wants more, I’m not the only one who’s bored
So come on, I just want to have some fun
What if it doesn’t work and I’ve wasted all this time
What if it’s only hurt that I’ve bottled up inside of me
And What if every promise I’ve believed was just a lie
And I find myself alone and asking, “Why?”
I want everyone to think I’m even better than I seem
So I close up and hide behind this smile
Sure it’s fake, yes it’s a show and by this time I am quite the pro
But maybe it will come true after while
(CHORUS)
Does anyone know anyone who’s really, truly real?
I cannot be the only one who feels the way I feel, for real.
I tell you it doesn’t work, and I’ve wasted so much time
I have got years of hurt bottled up inside of me
And every single promise I’ve believed has been a lie
Is there anyone who can make me new inside?
