If Nobody Sang Along
If there were no record labels
No radios or TVs
No magazines
No MTV
No Channel E! to see
Would I even tell my story?
Would I even sing my song?
If nobody sang along
Would I take the time to write it?
Would I say what's on my mind?
If nobody sang along
Who's all this for?
Is it my song or yours?
Am I the superstar or are you?
I feel so judged
Like I'm on trial
But if you aren't around
Would I gotta tell the truth?
Would I even tell my story?
Would I even sing my song?
If nobody sang along
Would I take the time to write it?
Would I say what's on my mind?
If nobody sang along
Maybe I like being played on the radio
Maybe I like being just like the other girls
Maybe I wish I was in more media
Maybe I need to just say what I wanna say
(Maybe I should tell)
Maybe I should tell my story
(Maybe I should sing)
Maybe I should sing my song
And somebody just might sing along
Maybe if I only write it
And just say what's on my mind
I'd be all over your TV screen
The radio would play what I believe
(What I believe, yeah)
If I just say whats inside of me
I might set somebody free
If I just be me
