This original off of the British artist’s channel is about trying to fit in anywhere and how some, well, most people don’t even have to try. At least that’s what they portray on the outside, keeping it all inside. All in all, we’re all the same, just some of us are better at hiding it.
[Verse 1]
There are some who don't even need to try
Born with a warm heart, a twinkle in their eye
Glitter in their words, perfume in their breaths
Souls of sunshine and lilac pastel skies
You will find no such shimmering in here
Oh, there's a wish for some that's shoveled down by fear
Am I happy or just hopeful? Confident or boastful?
Do people smile holding back a sneer?
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all
[Verse 2]
So off you go, perform your social dance
Outstretched opinions and a flexible stance
Pirouette for show but never let them know
That really, you're just begging for a chance
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all
[Humming Interlude]
[Bridge]
Can someone please tell me how it feels
To say the perfect words, a model of appeal
Should I spit secrets inside or should I just hide?
I'll never be okay to reveal
[Outro]
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder, better me for all
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all
