Speak Up

You can see me on a movie screen
Except I don't mix well with a social scene
And when I see you
And all the things you do
And all the words you know
Wish I even had a clue

Speak up
Nobody's ever listening to you
Talk up
Somebody's bound to listen to you

You're running circles all around me
While I sit in your shadow waiting for some company
Someday you'll teach me the proper way to sing
And how to hold my own and tell the world just what I think

Speak up!
Nobody's ever listening to you
Talk up!
Somebody's bound to listen to you

You're not the black sheep
You're the needle in the hay
What a lonely tale you're weaving
So just be yourself
be yourself

I think of all the lime light just waiting for these eyes
Instead I sit here thinking 'bout how hard I never tried
It wont be long 'till all the honey's dry
And the sands of time have washed away my dreams in life
