What If I Shine

I spend too much time thinking about
 Who I'm supposed to be
 I play by everybody's rules
 That don't seem right to me
 I'm cool and polite on the outside
 When I get a chance, I run and I hide
 If your eyes are closed, it's hard to see
 What if I back down now?
 'Cause I'm afraid of what might happen
 What if they turn away
 When I show them who I truly am?
 What if I lose my breath
 When I throw those big doors open?
 Or tonight, just tonight
 What if I shine?
 Should I even care?
 They're all sitting there
 and everyone's staring at me
 If I step out in the spotlight
 maybe I'll be set free
 What if I back down now?
 'Cause I'm afraid of what might happen
 What if they turn away
 When I show them who I truly am?
 What if I lose my breath
 When I throw those big doors open?
 Or tonight, just tonight
 What if I shine?
 I
 Shine
 I spend too much time thinking about
 Who I'm supposed to be
 But what if I sing out loud?
 Because anything can happen
 What if I stand up proud
 And show them who I truly am?
 They're gonna call my name
 And I'll throw these big doors open
 'Cause tonight, just tonight
 I'm gonna shine
 I
 Shine
