My life's been a bit of a compromise
Had to make a choice between tears and smiles
I used to play only by myself
Nobody cared
Sat there in a field, I was watching them
They didn't even catch my struggle and pain
Too different to be in the band
I'll never forget
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still the same guy you were laughing at
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invite to play in the park
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still the same guy you were laughing at
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invite to play in the park
Hiding in the dark
Beach, you were so mean
I really could see you didn't like me
Anger and jealousy
You can't beat up a kid
Two sides like a coin
Joking around and humiliating
Oh my, look at the sun
I'll never forget
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still a same guy, you were laughing at
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invite to play in the park
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still a same guy, you were laughing at
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invite to play in the park
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the dark
Everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guy
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invites to play in the park
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guy
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invites to play in the park
And everybody claps when they see me now
But I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guy
Hiding in the dark cause I'm terrified
Waiting for your invites to play in the park
Hiding in the dark
