My stomach is sick and my head is crystal clear

So cliche
and so storybook fairy tale
that I'm wondering if it was ever real
and why was your heart so pale?

This is where you learn
to stand and fight
and protect what is yours
before it becomes out of sight.

I don't want to be ashamed
of who I was yesterday
and I don't want to be afraid
of who I'll be tomorrow.
So can you please help me find it?
Help me find who I am
and who I'll be
for the rest of eternity?

The phone keeps ringing
inside my head
and I don't answer it
hoping I'll hear your voice instead.

So imperfect
my flaws are laid out
for the world to see.
Can they carry my doubt?

I don't want to be ashamed
of who I was yesterday
and I don't want to be afraid
of who I'll be tomorrow.
So can you please help me find it?
Help me find who I am
and who I'll be
for the rest of eternity?

'Breaking hearts
has never looked so cool.'
Did you watch and see
how I got taken for a fool?

I'm finally getting some order back
turn around, and watch for me.
Don't forget
who I'll never be.
