If I Could Go Back

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
