It's a long day when you're different
Haven't found your place
In a cruel world, no mercy here

Lions lie in wait

In your poor shoes
And your poor coat
In your poor house on the corner
Where everyone can judge you

Where everyone drives on

You're a wallflower
That's what you are
Clinging desperate to the rail
A wallflower
Right there you are
Hiding peaceful 'neath your veil
Just to get through the day

Was a big day in a small town
Spotlights on the hill
With poster boys and pony girls
They're going in for the kill
In this small town
With their small minds
And your small house on the corner
Where everyone drives past you

Where everyone drives on

You're a wallflower
That's what you are
Clinging desperate to the rail
You're a wallflower
Right there you are
Hiding peaceful 'neath your veil
Just to get through the day
Feeling smaller
When you're smaller
You dream bigger
Dream bigger

(In your poor shoes)
(In your poor coat)
(In your poor house) 'Til one day
(In a cruel world) There's a hand on your hand
(In a cruel world) And hope on your face
(It gets better) It gets better
Wallflower
There you are
Peeking out beneath your veil
My wallflower
A secret star
Rising high above the rail
Just get through today
Wallflower

It gets better
Just get through today
Wallflower
It gets better
Just get through today
