The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you had any chance at all
I'd stay behind you and look away
I woulda let my feelings go
I woulda let them all show
No
It's crazy being someone's (bro?)
Why can't i be me?
This is your chance now answer me
Why can't i be me?
If anything we should think about
The stupid things that you used to say
You made me feel so hollow
You made me see it from your place ?
It's not your ? that made me afraid
Why can't, i can't, why can't i be me?
If you had anything to change
I'd probably stand by and watch you wait
I'd really let my mouth go
I'd really let my light show
No
It's crazy being someone's (bro?)
