If I Could Go Back

Little girl, big world
 Handcuffed to wrists of extroverted girls, girls
 Never spoke, never broke
 free from the role of everybody's shadow
 But that's the old me, and I've left all my past behind
 Still wish that I could go back in time
 If I could go back
 I'd do it all again
 Put some nerve into my backbone
 We could get along
 If I could go back
 I'd step into this persona
 I've come to know
 If I could go back
 Auto-pilot, always quiet
 Couldn't dare to make my presence known or break my silence
 Intimidated
 Always felt like an enormous understatement
 But that's the old me, and I've left all my past behind
 Still wish that I could go back in time
 If I could go back
 I'd do it all again
 Put some nerve into my backbone
 We could get along
 If I could go back
 I'd step into this persona
 I've come to know
 If I could go back
 Held captive by regret
 All these things left unsaid
 My whole self left unshown
 Now they will never know
 Why was I so afraid
 Of seeming out of place
 Like I did not belong
 Just say nothing at all
 If I could go back
 I'd do it all again
 Put some nerve into my backbone
 We could get along
 If I could go back
 I'd step into this persona
 I've come to know
 If I could go back
