lyrics

Only when the sun goes down
I don’t stand out in this town
Can’t they see that I’m not a clown?
Only heaven will know

Do I have to live to please?
I’m scared of what they see in me
Can’t I have my needed peace?
‘cause all I wish is to be free

Will they ever take to heart
Features that set me apart?
No one sees how much this hurts
Only heaven and I know

Do I have to live to please?
I’m scared of what they see in me
Can’t I have my needed peace?
‘cause all I wish is to be free

No one sees how much this hurts
Only heaven and I know

Do I have to live to please?
I’m scared of what they see in me
Can’t I have my needed peace?
‘cause all I wish is to be free

Only heaven and I know
