[00:19.75]Be yourself, they say, but be assertive
[00:24.78]Hold your ground but do not be unkind
[00:29.54]I have sought to be both lamb and lion
[00:34.37]Heartache is the thing I tend to find
[00:39.25]Can I only have what I can capture
[00:44.40]Will I be unheard unless I shout
[00:48.99]Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder
[00:53.93]What is there to be so loud about?
[00:58.85]Many are the musings of my shy heart
[01:03.64]Though precious few are spoken out aloud
[01:08.75]How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
[01:13.49]And send them out like magic through the crowd
[01:18.45]Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
[01:23.33]I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
[01:28.45]I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
[01:33.13]I only want to know they know I'm here
[01:40.63]I can wear a mask of pluck and power
[01:45.33]But it never says what I intend
[01:50.35]Words become like scissors in my keeping
[01:54.98]And friendships are so difficult to mend
[02:00.33]I don't want to shout above the babel
[02:05.00]I'm not even sure what I would say
[02:09.89]Maybe just, "Excuse me, could we maybe
[02:14.78]Be a little quieter today?
[02:19.75]Many are the musings of my shy heart
[02:24.72]Though precious few are spoken out aloud
[02:29.32]How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
[02:34.42]And send them out like magic through the crowd
[02:39.28]Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
[02:44.15]I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
[02:48.72]I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
[02:53.90]I only want to know they know I'm here
[02:58.82]I only want to know they know I'm here
[03:58.85]Part of me has things she wants and wishes
[04:03.75]Part of me is worried she is wrong
[04:08.72]Part of me is busy masquerading
[04:13.34]As a girl whose pieces get along
[04:18.50]I don't mean to come across as distant
[04:23.34]I don't think it adds to my mystique
[04:28.36]I just find it difficult conversing
[04:33.25]And think an awful lot before I speak
[04:38.12]Many are the musings of my shy heart
[04:42.77]Though precious few are spoken out aloud
[04:47.65]How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
[04:52.73]And send them out like magic through the crowd
[04:57.57]Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
[05:02.58]I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
[05:07.14]I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
[05:12.45]I only want to know they know I'm here
[05:17.35]I only want to know they know I'm here
