Little girl, big world Handcuffed to wrists of extroverted girls, girls Never spoke, never broke Free from the role of everybody's shadow But that's the old me, and I've left all my past behind Still wish that I could go back in time If I could go back I'd do it all again Put some nerve into my backbone We could get along If I could go back I'd step into this persona I've come to know If I could go back Auto-pilot, always quiet Couldn't dare to make my presence known or break my silence Intimidated Always felt like an enormous understatement But that's the old me, and I've left all my past behind Still wish that I could go back in time If I could go back I'd do it all again Put some nerve into my backbone We could get along If I could go back I'd step into this persona I've come to know If I could go back Held captive by regret All these things left unsaid My whole self left unshown Now they will never know Why was I so afraid Of seeming out of place Like I did not belong Just say nothing at all If I could go back I'd do it all again Put some nerve into my backbone We could get along If I could go back I'd step into this persona I've come to know If I could go back
