i'm scared that i won't find a thing
and afraid that i'll turn out to be alone, but i

i have to learn, have to try, have to trust i have to cry
have to see, have to know that i can be myself, yeah

and if i could i would stay
and if they're not, not in my way
i'll stare here in the distance
but i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah

i have to learn, have to try, have to trust i have to cry
i have to see, have to know that i can be myself

and if i could i would stay
and if they're not not in my way
i'll stare here in the distance
but i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
