Behind The Scenes

[Verse 1]
I loathe everything that I used to be
Everyone sees me as one thing
But not for what I want them to
I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t fix the past
But now that I’m gone, you’ll see me shine, and I’m better
As usual, no one believed that

[Chorus]
Behind the scenes, I’m not who you’re used to
I’ve been through many things that you don’t know about
It maybe seems that I’m so great
But throughout my life, I felt like a mistake
You will never get why I do the things I do
Even so, it’s the same outcome everytime
Why do I have to be in shame? I was just born this way

[Verse 2]
One look at me, sure I’m nice, that’s who I want to be
Somehow the world thinks that kindness is a word for weak
God gives the battles to the ones that are angels at heart
Now I am here, contemplating if it’s true or not

[Bridge]
How can I live my life freely? When I just want to get by easily
If everything happens for a reason, why did life not give me what I needed?
I’m so alone, was this for my soul?
I’ve been patient, I’m met with more displacement
Will I be seen? Will life need me?
I’m trying to move gracefully, then I’m pushed to feel guilty

[Chorus]
Behind the scenes, I’m not who you’re used to
I’ve been through many things that you don’t know about
It maybe seems that I’m so great
But throughout my life, I felt like a mistake
You will never get why I do the things I do
Even so, it’s the same outcome everytime
Why do I have to be in shame? I was just born this way
