246 Toothpicks
Stage fright on all sides
That's what I got
You see me for the things that I'm not
It's ten to one and my number's up
And I can't make it stop
Left out and left alone when I need
Something to elevate my beliefs
That this will pass without cutting deep
Into my self-esteem
My tired eyes have seen it all
I need a wake-up call
And now you wanna tell me
It shouldn't be like this
And I was only trying
To make the most of it
They took everything
All that they need from me
I'm on my own
And I don't wanna be with me
Just look inside yourself
And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be
Stand tall, don't fall they said
Hollywood's got in your head
No awards means not the best
But it's not your race just yet
My tired eyes have seen it all
I need a wake-up call
And now you wanna tell me
It shouldn't be like this
And I was only trying
To make the most of it
They took everything
All that they need from me
I'm on my own
And I don't wanna be with me
Just look inside yourself
And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be
Those days find a way up somehow
Turning my stomach around
But I got 246 toothpicks
Laying somewhere on the ground
Those days find a way up somehow
Turning my stomach around
But I got 246 toothpicks
Laying somewhere on the ground
And now you wanna tell me
It shouldn't be like this
And I was only trying
To make the most of it
They took everything
All that they need from me
I'm on my own
And I don't wanna be with me
Just look inside yourself
And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be
That's what I got
You see me for the things that I'm not
It's ten to one and my number's up
And I can't make it stop
Left out and left alone when I need
Something to elevate my beliefs
That this will pass without cutting deep
Into my self-esteem
My tired eyes have seen it all
I need a wake-up call
And now you wanna tell me
It shouldn't be like this
And I was only trying
To make the most of it
They took everything
All that they need from me
I'm on my own
And I don't wanna be with me
Just look inside yourself
And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be
Stand tall, don't fall they said
Hollywood's got in your head
No awards means not the best
But it's not your race just yet
My tired eyes have seen it all
I need a wake-up call
And now you wanna tell me
It shouldn't be like this
And I was only trying
To make the most of it
They took everything
All that they need from me
I'm on my own
And I don't wanna be with me
Just look inside yourself
And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be

Laying somewhere on the ground
Those days find a way up somehow
Turning my stomach around
But I got 246 toothpicks
Laying somewhere on the ground
And now you wanna tell me

And I don't wanna be with me

And see what I can see
Just think a second time
Of what you really need
You are just eleven
One day you're twenty three
And then you'll know
You're everything you wanna be
