Some days I get so scared and I curl up inside
Afraid to tell anyone, all I can do is hide
I wish someone would hold me close
And tell me everything'll be alright...

Life gets hectic and I get stressed out
Sometimes I can't help it and I lash out
Afraid to let anyone see how scared,
Insecure, unsure, and small I really am.

I put on a mask, play a part,
take the stage, and I know it's not right,
but I don't think that at the time
All I want to do is run so far away.

Everything's so new, and I'm unsure
Will I be ready when it's time?
How can you say I'm capable,
When all I see is how small I am.

Will someone please hold this fragile heart of mine
Whisper to it, hold it close and let it see the light.
Tell it somehow, somewhere, someday
Everything will turn out alright.
