The Real Me

Foolish heart

Looks like we're here again

Same old game of plastic smile

Don't let anybody in

Hiding my heartache

Will this glass house break

How much will they take

Before I'm empty

Do I let it show?

Does anybody know?



CHORUS:

But you see the real me

Hiding in my skin

Broken from within

Reveal me completely

I'm loosening my grasp

No need to hold back my frailty

'Cause you see

The real me



Painted on

Life is behind a mask

Self-inflicted circus clown

I'm tired of the song and dance

Living a charade

Always on parade

What a mess I've made

Of my existance

But you love me even now

And still I see somehow



CHORUS:

That you see the real me

Hiding in my skin

Broken from within

Reveal me completely

I'm loosening my grasp

No need to hold back my frailty

'Cause you see

The real me



Shadows of shattered dreams

They've followed me

They've haunted me

But you've taken the

Broken pieces of my life

And helped me to believe



'Cause you see the real me

Hiding in my skin

Broken from within

Reveal me completely

I'm loosening my grasp

No need to hold back my frailty

Oh, 'cause you see

The real me
