I think I, I need a doctor

I can't wait, can't take much longer

I've caught that dreaded bug

That bug that makes everything so gray

Anytime you are away



I know I said if I had a superpower

I'd ask for invisibility, after all, I'm already a wallflower

But now I've changed my mind

Because I’d give anything for you to see

For you to see, for you to want to be with me



I know that I'm just a fool, for thinking that you would fall for me

Told myself, everyday, justified to everyone that someday it could be, would be

But you go for showstoppers, and I'm just fooling around backstage

Why should I kid myself, when you're so far out of my range?



Maybe someday, maybe someday you'll look here

And when you do, that day, I will have no fear

Fate, my oldest friend, won't you please treat me kind-ly

I most outgrow the pain I know, and shed the old me



Someday, you'll see, you will see what I'm made of

I'm not just a shadow hiding from the light, I'm ready to fall in love

Don't look for me on the sidelines, you won't find me there

I'm coming up fast, and darling, you better prepare
