Ryan Kemmer - Notice Me lyrics

Ever since I was young I dreamed of being a star Just gimme a stage and a song And I know that I'll go far At every step along the way I knew that I had more to give than I knew how to get out But no matter how hard I tried It refused to show itself I'm ready for a leap to take That's why I came here today! I don't wanna be just a kid shouting, "notice me" I don't wanna hear "that's cute" when they finally see Is it too much to ask to be given a chance? Is it too much to ask to be taken seriously? I'm ready for the big time... [Male voice: ] Thank you, we've heard enough [Female soloist: ] You've heard enough? You've heard enough? That's not how this was supposed to end This was supposed to be my big moment But I sing nineteen bars and I get dismissed You interrupt me before the big cadence and You think that's enough to tell me I can't sing? You think that's enough to see what makes me me? I get it, just shut up, move on I guess I'm just not talented enough I guess I shoulda been prettier and stuff I guess you're just not interested enough To hear one more kid try to pa**ion her way through a song when you've heard hundreds like her all day long! I get it, but this is my internal monologue Not even I can shut this sh** off Sometimes I wish I could when she starts b**hin' But she got a captive audience, so for now we all gon' listen Ever since I was young I dreamed of being a star Just give me a stage and a song And I know that I'll go far At every step along the way I knew that I had more to give than I knew how to get out But no matter how hard I tried It refused to show itself Sure, I know it sounds cliche But this my moment on that stage A turning point in the story of my life What am I gonna do if it doesn't go right? [Spoken: ] Go back home to that small town where nothing ever happened? [Sung: ] Enough about my stupid dreams! I'm just not talented enough it seems 'Cuz I sang nineteen bars and I got dismissed You stopped me before the big cadence and I guess that's enough to tell ya whatcha need to know I guess that's enough, 'cuz all that matters are right notes I guess that's how this has to end My nineteen-bar-long big moment But I'll be damned if I leave this room Without singing the big finish for you! I don't wanna be just a kid shouting, "notice me" I don't wanna hear "that's cute" when they finally see Is it too much to ask to be given a chance? Is it too much to ask to be taken seriously? I'm ready for the big time... [Male voice: ] Thank you, we've heard enough [Female soloist: ] All I need is someone to believe in me
