I had a crush on a girl in grade twelve
Thought she was a snob
Too good for me

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

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

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

And then I think of something to say
And then I regret it straight away
And everything’s dumb stupid bad
And then we keep on chattin and before too long
I can’t remember why I’m singing this sad song
And then I realise oh yeah
That always happens

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 we’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

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

Everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
There’s no need to feel blue

Everybody’s got the same insecurities as you
Believe me it is true
Don’t be afraid to be you
Don’t be afraid to be you
Don’t be afraid to be you
Don’t be afraid to be you
Don’t be afraid to be you
