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
