Your Congratulations

I wouldn't have compromised as much

So much of myself for fear of

Having you hating me

And I would've sung so loudly

It would've cracked myselfAnd I became self conscious

Of anything exuberant

I wouldn't have sold myself short

I wouldn't have kept my eyes

Glued to the groundIf I had've known my invisibility

Would not make a difference

I would've run around screamin' proudly

At the top of my voice

Ohh aaah

Ohh aaah aaahI wouldn't have said it was in fact luck

I'm talking idealism here

I would not have been so self depricating

And I wouldn't have cowered

For fear of having my eyes scratched out
