Shy Heart

Be yourself, they say, but be assertive
她们说 做你自己 果敢坚毅
Hold your ground but do not be unkind
坚持己见 而非暴跳怒颜
I have sought to be both lamb and lion
想要坚若猛狮而善似羊羔
Heartache is the thing I tend to find
往往却只收获了心如刀绞
Can I only have what I can capture
难道就此止步中道
Will I be unheard unless I shout
一片喧嚣 唯有咆哮才会被听到
Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder
我湮没在了那嘈杂纷扰
What is there to be so loud about?
喧嚣何故?
Many are the musings of my shy heart
羞涩的内心里思绪满藏
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
纵然珍贵 却难以开口分享
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
我多想将心声吐露 自信大方
And send them out like magic through the crowd
如同绚丽的魔法冲破吵嚷
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
大家侧耳倾听 而我不再畏惧
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
我将不再退缩 不再逃避
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
我意并非攫取世间浮名
I only want to know they know I'm here
仅为让他们知道 我就在这里
I can wear a mask of pluck and power
面具让我看似意志坚定能力高强
But it never says what I intend
但它从未代表我所思所想
Words become like scissors in my keeping
言辞似刃闪烁寒芒
And friendships are so difficult to mend
友谊也难再缝补如往
I don't want to shout above the babel
我不想高声叫嚷
I'm not even sure what I would say
我甚至无从开口
Maybe just, "Excuse me, could we maybe
或许只道"抱歉 我们能够
Be a little quieter today?
稍微安静些吗？"
Many are the musings of my shy heart
羞涩的内心里思绪满藏
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
纵然珍贵 却难以开口分享
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
我多想将心声吐露 自信大方
And send them out like magic through the crowd
如同绚丽的魔法冲破吵嚷
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid
大家侧耳倾听 而我不再畏惧
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear
我将不再退缩 不再逃避
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all
我意并非攫取世间浮名
I only want to know they know I'm here
仅为让他们知道 我就在这里
I only want to know they know I'm here
仅为让他们知道 我就在这里
Part of me has things she wants and wishes
一部分我有着她所向往
Part of me is worried she is wrong
一部分我畏犯错而心惶
Part of me is busy masquerading
一部分我又忙着伪装
As a girl whose pieces get along
三部分交织纠结一起
I don't mean to come across as distant
我不是刻意留下疏远高冷的印象
I don't think it adds to my mystique
我也不想故作神秘
I just find it difficult conversing
我只因交谈身心俱疲
And think an awful lot before I speak
开口前总千思而万虑
Many are the musings of my shy heart
羞涩的内心里思绪满藏
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
纵然珍贵 却难以开口分享
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
我多想将心声吐露 自信大方
And send them out like magic through the crowd
如同绚丽的魔法冲破吵嚷

I only want to know they know I'm here
仅为让他们知道 我就在这里
I only want to know they know I'm here
