My life's been a bit of a compromiseHad to make a choice between tears and smilesI used to play only by myselfNobody caredSat there in a field, I was watching themThey didn't even catch my struggle and painToo different to be in the bandI'll never forgetAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still the same guy you were laughing atHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invite to play in the parkAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still the same guy you were laughing atHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invite to play in the parkHiding in the darkBeach, you were so meanI really could see you didn't like meAnger and jealousyYou can't beat up a kidTwo sides like a coinJoking around and humiliatingOh my, look at the sunI'll never forgetAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still a same guy, you were laughing atHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invite to play in the parkAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still a same guy, you were laughing atHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invite to play in the parkHiding in the darkHiding in the darkHiding in the darkHiding in the darkEverybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guyHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invites to play in the parkAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guyHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invites to play in the parkAnd everybody claps when they see me nowBut I'm still a same guy, you're a laughing guyHiding in the dark cause I'm terrifiedWaiting for your invites to play in the parkHiding in the dark
