They Never Saw What I Could Become

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

They laughed at everything I tried

Said I would never get it right

I kept my dreams beneath my bed

And swallowed everything they said

Instrumental Break

Verse 2

I watched them build the lives they wanted

While every door in mine stayed locked

They never asked what I could be

They only saw what they believed

Chorus

They never saw what I could become

They only saw what I hadn't done

One day these words will disappear

But I still hear them every year

Instrumental Break

Bridge

I never needed their applause

Just wished they saw me as I was
