I actually finished writing this song just about 5 minutes ago. I wrote the first verse over a year ago and it's been sitting in my notes since then. It's mainly about how I view my singing abilities. I am usually way too shy to sing in front of anyone. I actually got inspired to finish this song today because I'm trying to plan out a new book and this would actually be the perfect theme song for the main character. Hope you guys like it!
Verse:
She got her break in the theater
Now she stars in blockbuster films
They used to call her a dreamer
But she made her dream come true
He got his break in the choir
Now he's selling out stadium tours
He kept on trying like a fighter
And I ask myself, "Why can't I do that?"
The answer is clear
Chorus:
When I fall I don't get back up
I crash and burn each time I'm stuck
Because I'm the always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
I cry in the middle of the night
Because I can't let my dreams take flight
That's why I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
Verse:
Opportunity knocks at my door
I don't answer, sorry I'm not home today
When I get my chance I only run away
Until the moment is long, long gone
The reason is obvious
Chorus:
When I fall I don't get back up
I crash and burn each time I'm stuck
Because I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
I cry in the middle of the night
Because I can't let my dreams take flight
That's why I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, yeah
I'm always just the shy girl
No, oh
Bridge:
Some day I'll spread my wings and fly
Or at least I hope I can try
Even though I am
(Just the shy girl, girl
Just the shy girl)
I'd let my dreams come true
They'd say "I'm so proud of you"
But that's not the life
(Of the shy girl, girl
Just the shy girl)
I'm just the shy girl, girl
Just the shy girl (3x)
Chorus:
When I fall I don't get back up
I crash and burn each time I'm stuck
Because I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
I cry in the middle of the night
Because I can't let my dreams take flight
That's why I'm always just the shy girl
Yeah, I'm always just the shy girl
I'm always just the shy girl
