I had a crush on a girl in Grade twelve
Thought she was a snob
Too good for me
It turns out
That she was just shy
She thought I was too cool
Too cool for her
Turns out
She didn’t like me anyway
In that way
But that’s not the point
I’m trying to make to you here today
See if we’d have sat down and talked
For just a second
I would have realised an important lesson
A lot earlier

Everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
You are not alone
There’s no need to feel blue
Everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
Do not be afraid
To show people the real you

Sometimes I get stuck for conversation
I get so scared
I get so scared
What if people don’t think I’m such a sensation
They might realise
I’ve blown my cover
Then I think of something to say
Then I regret it straight away
And everything’s dumb stupid bad
But then we keep on chatting and before too long like
I can’t remember why I’m singing this sad sad song
Then I remember oh yeah
That always happens Just

Cos everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
You are not alone
There’s no need to feel blue
Everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
Do not be afraid
To show people the real you

This moment is all you’ve got
So don’t fill it with all the rot
It’s all good or so you say
You’ve got to believe it
You need it in every way
And if you’re sick of this song
A stupid pop song gone on too long
Don’t forget who you’re talking to
Cos’ this song’s got its insecurities as well
