Lyric Your Congratulations

I wouldn t have compromised as much
so much of myself for fear of having you hating me
I would ve sung so loudly
It would ve cracked myself!
I because self-conscious
or anything exuberant
I wouldn t have sold myself short
I wouldn t have kept my eyes
glued to the ground
If I had ve known my invisibility
would not make a difference
I would ve run around screaming proudly
at the top of my voice
I wouldn t have said it was in fact luck
I m talking idealism here
I would not have been so self deprecating
I wouldn t have cowered
for fear of having my eyes scratched out!
I wouldn t have cut my comfort off
I wouldn t have feigned needlessness
I would not have discredited
every one of their compliments
it was your approval I wanted
your congratulations
