Town Lyrics - The Lads

(V1) 

I used to be so scared of going to Manners Mall 

Of walking past those staring eyes that made me feel so small 

Creeping up and down trying to find a fault to see 

So they could lock me up inside and throw away the key 

(V2) 

I've tried being someone else just so I could belong 

I've lived my life in fear of putting one foot wrong 

Although your words may hurt me it's time for me to go 

I'm trying to be myself now 

And I think that you should know that... 

(CH) 

I can go into town by myself if I want to 

Look around at the world with my own eyes 

I don't have to be afraid 

Why do we try to be the same competing with each other 

All dressed up in brown cords and pyjamas 

Pretending to be cool 

(V3) 

I watched the world go by through the window of my mind 

But how I saw myself made friends hard to find 

I wasn't sure you liked me although I think you tried 

I wanted you to like me, to fill the hole inside
