Attention from Soundtrack by Mountainess

Boughs bend where the sun is shining
I am the same way
Find me green beneath the limelight
taking the strangest shapes
I have carved my name on every stage where my idols stepped
I have known the pain of waiting for my moment

So I won't apologize
I won't apologize
For wanting your eyes on me

Your attention, please

Tough crowd or a sea of roses
I still stare back
I am no reclining Venus
I want to interact
And for every guy who thought I'd die without his bland suggestion
To be less or more or something for his dubious affection

Well, I won't apologize
I won't apologize
for chewing the scenery

Your attention, please
Your attention, please

I won't beg for it
I was made for it
Your attention, please
I can give it as good as I can get it
Most nights I take my seat
In the dark

But, shade is not the killer of dreams
There is life between the vision and me
Spots of sun caught beneath my lashes
Still, I'd be lying if I didn't concede
How good it feels when you're here with me

So, I won't apologize
I won't apologize
For wanting you to see
This tree for the forest
One small voice for the chorus
No more being modest
I'll tell you what I need

Your attention, please
Your attention, please
