The Lads - Town lyrics

(V1) I used to be so scared of going to Manners Mall Of walking past those staring eyes that made me feel so small Creeping up and down trying to find a fault to see So they could lock me up inside and throw away the key (V2) I've tried being someone else just so I could belong I've lived my life in fear of putting one foot wrong Although your words may hurt me it's time for me to go I'm trying to be myself now And I think that you should know that… (CH) I can go into town by myself if I want to Look around at the world with my own eyes I don't have to be afraid Why do we try to be the same competing with each other All dressed up in brown cords and pyjamas Pretending to be cool (V3) I watched the world go by through the window of my mind But how I saw myself made friends hard to find I wasn't sure you liked me although I think you tried I wanted you to like me, to fill the hole inside (V4) Accepting who I am did not come from being the best Or earning popularity by pa**ing all your tests The thing that helped me most Was when the realisation came That there is a God who love's me Who knows me by my name
