I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things so I could be free
You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending who I wanna be
I used to be the only one without an attitude
Now I am shaving and I'm grey and I got nothing to lose
There was a time I used to lie and I'd hide away
Now I can say I know I'll never be afraid of you
And I've been fighting for
I've been crying for too long
Crying for too long
And I will show the world
I am more than that boy
Who hides and grows old
I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things so I could be free
You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending who I wanna be
And I've been fighting for
I've been crying for too long
Crying for too long
And when I'm scared and when my back is up against the wall
Know I ain't gonna turn around, I will face it all
And I don't need to be the loudest to be the last one standing
And I'll stand here
I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things so I could be free
You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending who I wanna be
I got good at pretending who I wanna be
I got good at pretending who I wanna be
